[MindStorms Info. Center]> — Jin Sato

Jin Sato has probably forgotten more about building robots with LEGO
MINDSTORMS than most people will ever learn in a lifetime. A dozen or so
of presumably 30 odd robots are on display at Jin Sato's site, including
{LDraw} instructions and {POV-Ray} raytraces of a classic 6-legged walker
named {Mushi-Mishi No.4} and other walkers.

But most impressive is Jin Sato's astoundingly cool {MIBO}, a dual-RCX
version of the Sony robotic dog <http://www.world.sony.com/robot/ {Aibo}>.
MIBO's pages include building instructions (in Japanese) with detailed
close-up photos, some {NQC} code, and an animated GIF showing MIBO moving
from a standing position to a sitting position. MIBO is a must-see!
