Fay Rhodes, LEGO Mindstorms NXT author, is holding a contest to find an alternate foot for a camel design.
The wheel used as feet for my camel design came from the Education Resource set, but now LEGO has exchanged that wheel for another that lacks the TECHNIC pin holes–making it unusable for the foot. I can come up with other feet, but I thought it would be fun to hold a contest and see what good ideas y’all might come up with.
The winner will receive a copy of her most recent book, The LEGO Mindstorms NXT Zoo.
