NXT-Based Battle Tank

Name of Model: MINDSTORMS NXT battle tank (fully-functional)

Details: Over the past few months, the builders of this battle tank has been posting information about it in drips and drabs on the NXTStep blog. Things seem to have hit a point where this is worth featuring - in this (nearly 10 minute) video clip, we can see it maneuvered around through a remote control, firing at targets (using a guide laser), and using the NXT motors to power a full drive system (with working suspension). We'll update this post as more details come out, but for now the video above will have to suffice.
