Santa's Express Courier Service
Ho Ho Ho! Santa himself brings to you his Express Reindeer powered Courier Service. Need to transport presents/gifts, that's no big deal with Santa and Carrier. All you got to do is load the forklift with the item and press the enter button, then wait for it to return. To make things smoother, have another person at the destination to receive the present. Oh! Not to forget, this service is also holy, it displays 'Merry Christmas!" on the NXT Display and exclaims: "Ho Ho Merry christmas" as the carrier arrives to it's destination (In the Video you can see the carrier doing this.) Constructing this Service was a rather complicated process, but with Santa's blessing all went well. Santa (Minifig) would have sat on the seat if he wasn't busy managing the service. P.S.: Yes, the forklift is from NXT Programs (So therefore I give them credit) but, I modified it to fit my necessities.

The Reindeer and Reins

Ho Ho! I wonder if Santa's reindeers (Rudolph, etc.) will approve of this mechanical reindeer. After all, it was inspired by them... The reindeer is rather delicate as it is made of 2 motors, and it was made at the end, so there weren't many beams, pegs, etc. left. But, otherwise it is in fit/healthy shape to pull along the sleigh.The reins are simply made of one '7' beam, and of two steering links each. The wires that connect the motors and the NXT also act as reins. Pictures Main: Overview of Reindeer (top), Pic 2: Overview of Reindeer (bottom) Pic 3: Bottom of Reindeer. This reindeer is shore to pull along the Yuletide Spirit!

  • Yes, I've thought of doing that once, but the motor dragged the robot to the other end. Great job!
