The 101 by LEGO Digital Designer

The 101's antenna and roof.

The 101's balt.

The neon of 101.

Dear all,
I built the Taipei 101 by LEGO Digital Designer. It's spend me about 2 days. All 101 is constructed by upside down bricks in order to present its funnel's shape. Most of it built by roof bricks series.

HELLO KITTY

Dear all,

Hello -->it'll make sound "Hello" when you pass through it.

Kitty-->common in every restaurant's and shop's entrances, always watching you with big eyes and shacking its arm.

The idea of course come from those japanese dull. Most of its power are from solar and assisted waving its arms.

So, I wondering, why not just build a kitty from LEGO NXT? Then considering its appearances and functionality and LEGO NXT is using 9 AA batteries.

Energy-->LEGO NXT is using 9 AA batteries, so, saving power is really important for it if you want to positioned it at the entrance for notification.

Shape-->Kitty's ears, squatting, even the angle of waving.

Sound-->most Japanese kitties won't have sound. Thanks for LEGO NXT's multitask

Hello Kitty= security, decoration, saving energy

LEGWAY

Dear all,
Legway's balance is prefect. Although you have straighten it at beginning and its programming gave 3 seconds to make it still. It reminded me that we have to still the egg during the mid day of Dragon boat festival.

Legway's balance is depending on the PID controller which is manipulated 2 servo motors' power for wheels. Got light sensor for detected the bright and dark.
