I also changed the chip feeder so it is more reliable.

The Lejos code came from a group of German (these kids are clever!) students who build a robot called FourRowBot. I just changed it to use the new NXT Color sensor instead old the old light sensor. Then I changed the variables in the motor control class file to suit the smaller board size, and changed the speeds to suit the new gearing. Dead easy.
Currently the design uses a touch sensor to know when the human player has finished his turn. You simply press the button when you are done. This could very easily be changed to use one fo the NXT buttons if you are short of touch sensors, or, as was used on the original design, a US sensor that sees when your hand had been at the top of the board.
I knocked this up on LDD last night. No masterpiece! Never used it before. I had to replace the 4x1 gear racks with red 4x1 flat tiles as they don't exist in LDD. Because of this I could not mount the scanning arm, nor the chip feeder, so I just made them separate objects by the side of the main model. It's all very obvious where everything goes
Oh - there is a JAR executable and an image file. This is the PC application. The robot will run fast and good without it but the PC app lets you connect to the NXT and play at more advance levels, plus you can see the board on your screen, which is very useful when debugging adjustments you may have made in the source code (i.e are the chips falling in the right places etc). You just launch the NXT app and then select "connect to PC" in the options on teh NXT menu. Then click connect in the PC app.
Here you go!
