June 26 Multiple constructions with 1 NXT

What if a student wants to do have stations, but only has 1 NXT? For example where 1 robot does something and another to delivers or picks-up the material or product.

Background: The IEC 61499 tutorial assumes users have access to popular Lego NXT set. Some may be able to work in teams using multiple NXT sets together or with another device (RaspberryPi or CBCv2) so -between communication between devices can be used. 

But what if alone with just 1 NXT?
So here are suggestions for mini-robots to get the most out of 1 NXT set.

For example a windmill that grinds grain.  The Stomper alone could be used to create a Press example. Sensors are not included here, but can easily be added to control via sensor state.

Additionally a 1 motor robot (forwards/backwards only) to deliver or pick-up a product. Note the cable can interfere with how well the car goes straight forward and back to the same place.

This windmill is a combination Clinton Blackmore's Windmill and Stomper constructions.

Mini-car should be able to be constructed just from these pictures.
