LEGO Mindstorms Llama, Manual, Page: 22 / 22

Beyond the Box—B
This colorful character
demonstrates how
I might replace the
Zamor Shooter with the
competition cannon,
which is found in LEGO
Education’s Resource Set
Supplemental. The red
beam holds the trigger for
the dart.
As you can see, I’ve also
experimented with bigger
tires (from a TECHNIC
dump truck) and colored
beams (inspired by my
green dart).
Outside my local ice cream parlor,
there is a field of llamas. Observing
them, I realized that a simple fur
toupee would make my robot look
even more like a real llama.
It’s a simple project to knit or
crochet a rectangle using brown
or black eyelash yarn. In this case,
I’ve added a touch sensor, so I can
start and stop the robot without
having to fuss with the fur.
