LEGO NXT Marshmallow Toasting Robot
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 11 of May , 2009 at 3:55 am
Hungry? Cold? Greg Intermaggio’s marshmallow toasting robot will solve both of your problems by toasting a marshmallow with a gigantic flamethrower that is definitely dangerous and therefore way cool. Greg spent 15 hours building (and programming) the robot from scratch out of LEGO NXT bits, and if you like your marshmallows burned to a crisp, this is the robot for you:
However cool the industrial strength flamethrower may be, the robot functions much better with a slightly more reasonably sized flame… The near catastrophe happy accident was caused by somebody screwing up on the fuel. Greg’s ultimate goal is to construct a robot that will not only toast the perfect marshmallow, but also place it in the center of the perfect s’more.
You’ll be able to see this robot in action (among many, many others) at RoboGames this year… Buy your tickets here.
