Egglift: an automatic LEGO egg cooker

Step 7Make your own !

So if you too have some LEGO bricks laying around and a set of LEGO Mindstorms (or the new one LEGO NXT), you can actually redo this robot. It doesn't even have to be LEGO, use your imagination!

I have attached the NQCprogram I'm using for the Egllift. (egglift.nqc) NQC for Not Quite C is a simple language with a C-like syntax that can be used to program Lego's RCX programmable brick (from the Mindstorms set). You can get NQC for fee here.

Also attached is the CAD model of my Egglift if you want to build the exact same thing. (egglift.mpd) (but it's better to use you're imagination and re-engineer it so you can make some improvements) You have to open my CAD file (egglift.mpd) with the software MLCAD LDRAW available for free here.
