R3PTAR (English version)

A few more days, one more robot robot ... And today is the famous and long snake ​​made by Lego!

It is a very well thought out, organized and ingenious... In my opinion it's the best of the robots available by Lego....  Simply spectacular!

First let's start with the tail section. The tail is articulated and it cane move in a very realistic way! R3PTAR moves forward and backward through a single large motor. Through the medium motor we have the feeling that the robot is meandering, since this (the medium motor) is integrated in a system, where it can only make a relatively small angle, and change its direction within a very short time.

The head part is also quite interesting, always "standing" like it is always watching everything that is around it! This is supported by on another large motor, so whenever the infrared sensor detects any object, it quickly stretch its neck forward and open its mouth after! (The mouth opens after due to a beam that pushes another only when the neck is stretched).

We can program it to three distinct functions, the first is fairly simple where it is stopped looking from one side to the other, waiting to detect something and furiously attack! Another, where menders until it finds an object, and then attack. Afterwards it  retreats. Finally, using a complex program, we can control it with the infrared beacon (we have already used the remote to control the robot in TRACK3R, and EV3RSTORM, but this is without doubts the most complex).

And now a video for you guys understand how it really works:
