LEGO Mindstorm Ogre is a Minifig’s Worst Nightmare

March 1, 2009 by Geeks are Sexy | 2 comments

Minifigs worldwide tremble before Ogre, a Lego Mindstorm assault tank that could kick your butt and lay waste to your world in less time it took me to say it.

Ogre is a “Tank” built around a Zamor launching system nicknamed “Hailstorm”. It uses three XL PF motors, controlled either by a standard PF remote, or by the on-board (black) NXT using the Hitechnic IRLink. It also has a small wireless “spycam” attached, so that the driver can “see” what the robot sees. The result is a lot of fun to drive around, and even more fun to watch it autonomously detect, target, and destroy loose LEGO targets.

    i’d add a rotating main gun over the amo hopper to add some fire power and so the zamor spheres don’t get shot out in a battle i’d also inlarg the amo hopper.

    but besides that ORGE is realy impresive. can it destroy a solide lego wall?
