TI-86 controlled lego robot
Posted on 4 February 1999, 08:28 GMT
![[TI-86 Robot Picture]](/images/news/1999-02-04-robot.gif) David E. West built a TI-86 controlled lego robot (shown right, click for a larger image) for a robot design competition. He designed a special card to interface the TI-86 and the robot, and then programmed an assembly language program into the TI-86 which controls the robot. The robot took several weeks to complete and even includes such features as light sensors. David's robot, although ultimately defeated, managed to outperform several other robots. This is truly a tremendous feat and we wish to congratulate him on a job well done! You can read more about this robot on David's Website.

I like the way the "larger picture" that's mentioned is the exact same pic, just blown up 400%
