I’ve seen lots of cool creations on the various LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT blogs I read, but none of them compares to this working vending machine built by Ricardo T.
A few of my favorite features:
- Working coin detector that returns correct change.
- Five-key keyboard that supports input to order 57 different items.
- Password-protected coin drawer.
- Fanta! :D
(Read more in Portuguese on Forum0937, and in English on Ladrillitos. Thanks for the links, Juan Macias!)
It’s a pleasure seeing my MOC around in several blogs :)
Many thanks, Juan Macias! I liked the part of Fanta! :D

Absolutely, Ricardo — it’s a very cool MOC!
Thanks for the extra info, Nuno!
This is just awesome! But I wouldn’t like to have it at home and there’s two reasons for that:
1) I’d eat too much
2) I’d steal some bricks from it from time to time for some new Lego creations! :P
But the work done is great, awesome, marvellous!
