We had the idea for this robot just before the premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean 4. We were invited by the Bulgarian Lego club http://lebgo.org and we developed the robot together.

The ship Nikita takes part in different exhibitions. It looks great, it has a stable stern and an awesome sail. It uses light as tailwind. When there is light coming from behind the robot, it goes forward. When the light is coming from its right, it turns left and vice versa. All this happens progressively and the ship’s speed depends on the intensity of the light. There are 4 developed programs . Each of them behaves differently depending on the lamps, that are used, the lighting in the room and the reactions that are expected. Three of the programs are intelligent enough to calibrate automatically depending on the source of light: lamp, sunlight, etc. These are some photos showing his progress:


Аз мисля, че роботиката трябва да се популяризира не само във Варна и София, но и в други градове в България. Защо не например и в Бургас, Пловдив, Русе, Разград, Шумен … ?
Здравейте,
Хора няма. Хора :). Къде са хората на място, които да искат да направят нещо смислено, да го финансират с време и пари, да се посвевят за няколко дни от седмицата и да го сбъднат.
Някой трябва да свърши мръсната работа. Затова го няма училището в повече градове. Не сме намерили тези хора. Все още.
