The Lego model uses an Arduino to move the rods up and down (using a servo) and controls the simulated Cherenkov radiation (courtesy of blue LEDs).

From there, it’s really just a matter of printing the claw, connecting it to a 9g servo, and using an accompanying kit to prepare the skin and connect the muscles to the Arduino.

Cantin took to his workshop. He had to scrap his first design entirely when a metal tube attaching a servo-motor to a LEGO brick proved too flimsy (it died during initial testing).

The Arduino project has been constructed using parts of LEGO together with a handful of servos, which have all been connected to an Arduino development board. This board provides the ...

Enhancing Lego Mindstorms with Arduino Lego Mindstorms NXT is a sophisticated and fun educational robotics set that teaches kids and adults engineering and programming skills.

The Arduino control also tracks the running time of each section in hours and is shown when a switch on the circuit board is pressed. The pressure is measured by a non official Lego pneumatic ...
