    Hi, this is Orlando_2k from the Lego Mindstorms community.
    Anders Posted something over there:

    “Hi I am one of the creators of the MonoBrick firmware. I would like use your robot to promote MonoBrick. If you are interested please visit our webpage and use the contact form to start talking… Anders”

    I tried to use the contact form but didn’t get an answer yet…
    Are you still interested?

    Hi Orlando

    This looks very nice sure we are still interested. Please post some videos and some pictures… Then I will use it on the Firmware page. How does that sound?

    @Helmut
    The source can be found here

    @Helmut Wunder: You can download a “BuildingInstruction.pdf” at the project page. The source code is at the end of that document. (If you want to copy paste it, I can repost the code here (the mindstorms community doesn’t allow all file types 🙁 ))

    @Anders Søborg: why didn’t the contact form work for me?
    You can use the images and videos from the projectpage. Let me know if you need anything else!
    can you please add a link to my profile page, so guests can check out my other robots?

    hey,
    yes, it would be very nice if you posted the code here, too, and maybe a link to the pdf additionally, I find the Lego site very confusing

    ok, so the link to the pdf should be:

    thanks for sharing your project!
    Surely not only an amazing project but also a big help for people starting with mono to look and learn from your code!
    😎

    as some people in our German forum are just about starting with Mono I linked your project for people who might be interested:

    awesome,
    I am from Germany, too.

    EDIT: Oh, and you’re an admin of http://www.mindstormsforum.de
    I will have to take a look at this forum 😀
