When I caught up with Ed he had the following to say:. It is kept on an even keel and able to navigate waypoints via GPS thanks to an APM 2.5 autopilot from 3DR.

Credit must go to Ed’s son’s Nicholas and Joshua Scott who designed the worlds first flying robot made out of Lego!Įquipped with a Go Pro camera to record it’s surroundings and a first person view (FPV) camera and transmitter sending back live video images to its pilot the Lego quadrocopter is an advanced machine.
I also recognised a pattern, last week one of my sUAS was engaged in parachute dropping duties for my sons 9th birthday party. On contacting Ed Scott, C#/C++ developer by day and Lego flying robot wrangler by night I was impressed. I may have run the price up by not using the longest bricks I could in the walls, and there is still the issue of whether I used the best bricks for the roof.The first images that I saw of this Lego quadrocopter frame raised a smile. A little bit more than I wanted to spend on this present. That was after I looked through the LEGO website in vain for an answer. I eventually managed to get it priced by importing into a new factory file. I built mine in Creator because a house seemed to fit best there, but LEGO will only price files under the factory selection. There are three options to choose from when you start a new file, whether you select from LEGO Factory, Creator or Mindstorms. That was the most frustrating part of the process. I can't see any reason for that other than oversight during the development of this program.Īfter taking the model as far as I could I sent it to LEGO for pricing. The color brick tool did not allow me near the number of variations as I had when I first selected a particular shape brick. Now I wanted to tweak the building by changing the color of some of the bricks. The time just flew, a good indication that I was having fun despite the problems I ran into. I eventually decided to leave that part of the roof open, so that the inside could be looked at and played with.īy this time I had spent 2-1/2 hours playing with this model. For the life of me I could not find the appropriate brick in the huge selection of available LEGO bricks. Unfortunately my back patio juts out and thus requires inside corner bricks where the patio roof joins with the rest of the house. I selected the 25 degree angle because it should take fewer bricks to roof the house and I was getting concerned at the cost. There are a number of different roof bricks to pick from, but the two major categories have slopes of 25 and 45 degrees respectively. I ran into my first major problem trying to put a roof on my house. However that's a small price to pay for the simple and clean interface. So you're constantly having to change your view to get a clear view of what you're working on. So if you want to place a brick behind a stack it will assume that you want to place the brick on the stack.

The software interprets where you want to place the brick based on cursor placement. Then I added the windows and doors and added wall bricks up to the top of the doors. So I created a plan one brick high and kept tinkering with that until I got what looked right. If you've ever tried to create your own home plan you know that you are constantly resizing the base plan to get everything to fit. After a few minutes of playing with the controls I felt comfortable enough to work on my project.

I'm usually a 'read the manual first' kind of guy but the interface on this program looked so simple I just dove in. It is at once a very cool and somewhat frustrating piece of software.
#LEGO DIGITAL DESIGNER CONTROLS DOWNLOAD#
For those who don't know Digital Designer is a free download from the LEGO website that will allow you to construct a LEGO kit, print assembly instructions, submit to LEGO for pricing and ordering, and post your creations in an online gallery. I downloaded the LEGO Digital Designer Saturday night and got to work. For mother's day this year I had the bright idea to let my son give my wife a replica of our house in LEGO's.
