Bob is a humanoid robot that has the ability to do a variety of things. He has a tracked base with skid-steer driving, two arms that can move up and down, and two hands that can open and close. Bob uses two NXTs, six NXT motors, three sensors (ultrasonic, sound, and light), and more than 1,000 Technic pieces. I built Bob to test out bluetooth controlling from my new laptop, but he can be also be programmed to do other tasks autonomously. I created a program that allows you to pick between three different tasks, the first one being a program that would have Bob explore his surroundings. The second one would be a program that would have him "guard" a designated area and alert you (via bluetooth) whenever a trespasser is spotted. The last one was just for fun; it would make him dance to a beat. Overall, I really enjoyed building this robot, and was amazed at how it turned out.
