#Electric Gutair
SEE IT IN ACTION

Built by Dave Parker, from NXT programs, this robot imitates the functionality of an electric guitar through it’s clever manipulation and use of the Ultrasonic Sensor. The Ultrasonic sensor is positioned to read the distance of the sliding plate, and translate it into the appropriate note (or chord, depending on which model and program you use).

#Express-Bot

The express bot, built by Dave Parker from NXTprograms, is a simple driving chassis that can be enhanced with a diverse range of attachments, making the robot easy to personalise. The bot is designed solely for the 9797 Education kit, however it can be built (providing a few spare parts) with the NXT 2.0 and 1.0 kit. For educators, this robot is a great way to introduce your class to the field of programming, and provides an opportunity for students to create and design the program themselves. Students will also love the sense of independence this robot gives them.

The Express-Bot driving base can be built in under 15 minutes, and building instructions are provided in various different formats designed with teachers, coaches, and educators in mind.

#HiTechnic Rotabot

SEE IT IN ACTION HERE!

This masterpiece utilises the HiTechnic Rotacaster wheels to acheive omnidirectional movement. It was created by the HiTechnic team and building instructions + a program have been provided via the official site. The build is fairly simple and the chassis allows for builders to expand upon it and add more functionality by adding sensors. The Rotacaster wheels allow for endless customisation possibilities.

#HiTechnic Segway

SEE IT IN ACTION HERE!

The HT segway is an NXT robot built by the official HT team utilising both the HiTechnic IR Receiver sensor and Gyroscopic Sensor. The stability on this one is incredible, and with the Gyroscopic sensor your robot can now know which way is up – something that unfortunately made Dave Parker’s one kit segway very difficult to stabilise. It can also be remote controlled! In the video (provided in the link above), numerous objects are thrown at the segway and yet it can quickly regain its balance.

#Ball Shooter

SEE IT IN ACTION HERE!

The dynamic HiTechnic team has whipped together this amazing robot which takes advantage of the HiTechnic acceleration sensor to create a PID controlled shooter!

This model can be built from parts found in the LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0 set along with one HiTechnic Acceleration Sensor. The NXT-G program implements a simple PID controller so that the shooter follows the movement of the Acceleration Sensor.

In the New Testament, there is no numeral percentual associated with how generous one should be with their income, as opposed to the Old Testament taxation system – ‘tithing’, Jewish law where one was obligated to set aside 10% of their income or other possessions inherited (Leviticus 27:32). Whether or not a follower practices modern day tithing is often a result on their belief on the validity of Mosaic Law in modern day times. Either way, both Testaments are united by the recurring theme of being a generous giver.

The Wilderness of Sin (מִדְבַּר סִין), not to be confused with The Wilderness of Sinai (the Israelites next destination after Rephidim), is geographically located along the Sinai Peninsula near the Red Sea, east of the Wilderness of Shur, lying between Elim and Sinai, which is separated by the Sinai Mountain Range. The Wilderness of Sin is most prominently known as the location where Yaweh introduced the Sabbath to the Hebrews, which was done during the provision of manna and quail.

This ‘Massah’ is not to be confused with the vicintiy near Rephidim, in Qadesh-Barneʿa (קָדֵשׁ בַּרְנֵעַ) of the same name. Rather, this Massah is a name Moses actually gave to Rephidim, the full name being Rephidim Massah and Meribah. Massah מסה meaning ‘test’, and Meribah מְרִיבָה‎ meaning ‘quarrel’, which reiterates the hostile attitude the Israelites displayed towards Moses for there being no water.

And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from The Wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.

Despite the mainstream depiction of Mary travelling to Bethlehem on a donkey, there is no explicit mention of this transport in the scriptural canon that supports this.

Rather, The Protoevangelium of James, which is not included in the New Testament canon, was the first to popularise the idea of Mary riding on a Donkey.
