I finally received my long-awaited copy of Maximum Lego NXT: Building Robots with Java Brains by Brian Bagnall. I was pleased to see that in addition to the in-depth discussions regarding writing code for these robots in Java, that there were also some interesting projects.
My favorite was the Lego implementation of the Rocker-Bogie suspension, which was used in the Mars Sojourner rover, as well as Spirit and Opportunity. Note that the figure above is a prototype of Sojourner, which exhibits the Rocker-Bogie suspension. I am looking forward to building it and learning how it works.
