How to build a simple robotic arm from Lego Mindstorms NXT?

Step 2: Building the "rotation module"

This is one of my rare robots that are built from modules. My robotic arm has three modules; one of them is the "rotation module".

It's very simple. It rotates the arm left and right and supports the other two modules. It's based on Matthias Paul Scholz's 90 degree join at:

Did you use an education set to build this? Because this can't be built with a 2.0 set without a ton of modifications or by trying to use some Technic parts. Also, the link you provided is now invalid, so there is no way to follow those instructions. It would help if you put a disclaimer at the beginning of the instructable to let people know this is old and not complete, and what kind of Mindstorms set is needed (or added-on parts) in order to build it. That way, no one will start building this and then realize they can't complete it (like I just did).

how can you make this thing, theres no instructions on the mods

it's exactly the same, just flipped around, and I added the support for those large gears (which I think you can figure out how it's done)... but again, i built this two and a half years ago, so I don't know the details... :/

Sorry to say this, but this setup should come with a warning: You need more than one Mindstorms kit. The standard kit doesn't come with two large gray wheels. Also, step 2 need A LOT more instructions. Thanks.
