the ultrasonic sensor (looks like an alienhead) meatures the distance to the person, and when he leaves the toilet the robot activates the arm that pulls the flushingpin - sorry for my bad english !
Nice work - but everytime you flush, the pieces are stressed. If you can think of a way to attach it over the toilet and gear the motor, there would be alot less of a chance for the pieces to loosen and snap.
You can get one of those now (new) for around 250 dollars. It's not just a toilet flusher, but it can be taken apart and turned into something else. Gotta love Lego ^^
i8urbabi and Quade235 - Thanks for pointing that out I got ahead of myself. The solution for this then is an infrared motion sensor. When the sensing field detects motion the Robo Flush would be activated
are the lego mindstorms 2.0 being sold all over the world becuase the country im from have them and call them amazing robots and dont show us the box or anything so i have no clue whats going on
This is really awesome. I'm a fifth grader and I just got my first LEGO NXT robot and have made many things, but nothing as cool as this toilet flusher. It could fun recording some other sounds to play when a person is first detected at the toilet. I look forward to looking at your website to other cool ideas. Check our my videos of my robot. Write some ideas for me in the comments. Thanks.
lolol. my first thought was. who let you play with the toilet and your lego things. and btw where do i get these things. i have seen some motors and wanted to buy that for my son
That's a really good idea. If these are reproduced and sold people wouldn't have to buy those expensive auto flushers that are at big markets like Stop&Shop. Now... to make it less breakable...
BECAUSE I ALWAYS HATED THE HARD WORK OF FLUSHING IT; FEAR NO MORE HUMANS, THE FLUSHING ROBOT IS HERE FOR YOU!!! YOUR FINGERS WILL NO LONGER FEEL PAIN; THIS ROBOT SAVES THE DAY!!! HOORAYYY
wow, one day they'll make one that will poop for you while you're watching TV(so you don't miss any TV, or have a TV in the bathroom) yet not taking away the joyful feeling of pooping! :)
Once you get used to it, you're going to go somewhere, and just stand up and leave, and theres going to be a large loaf in the toilet..and someones going to get sick.
LOL; great. Maybe you might wish to pack it in some water proof box, hook it from inside the tank, and sell it to malls or restaurants. Might save some more water than the automatic flush of most mall restrooms.
I suggest that the machine you constructed is not flushing that toilet Its my view that the angles are all wrong for the flush mech and the movement is not enough to initiate the flush. Good concept but needs refining to work.
The manual flush is excellent, no cross contanimation from touching the handle...BRILLIANT!!!

Man, having this thing would save me so much effort! My life has been saved!

now you gotta make it say "feed me!" every time someone walks by it.
Only thing missing, is to make it close the seat.
I see it can be done, edge of the seat is perfect over the top.
We heard about it from the recently front paged video, the one with the bubblegum sorter.
Wow, I'm suprised it is strong enough to put hte lever, those new motors must be way stronger than the old ones.
@ivancito54 the lego ntx set only costs like 300 dollars, and did you see how expensive that toilet looked?!
That ppl is creativity...LAWL one of the best ideas ever!
That's pretty darned cool. I love how it says "Thank you" ^_^
I see the sight sensor, im guessing its set so after a certain time of someone blocking the sensor, it flushes.
For taking a shit, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You should gear it down with technic gears, that'll give it more power.
My nxt motor isn't strong enough to push down the flusher
so i assume you just lean forward for a courteousy flush?
add an automatic spray can to go off during the flush
I hope the unit is throughly clamped. Or you could have a self flushing robot
that is some creepy shit when it says "Thank You"
are the lego mindstorms 2.0 being sold all over the world becuase the country im from have them and call them amazing robots and dont show us the box or anything so i have no clue whats going on
can u teach me how to make this awsome flushing system
THATS SO GREAT!
Just a motion sensor to make all work!
"Thank you!" :D
hahaha thats the best mindstorms creation i've seen yet
lol creative...
so do wat do u use the ultrasonic thing 4?
does it just c that there is a person there who is done and then move its motor 2 tap it?
we get it, the thing flushes, and its awsome, but do you have to show it five times?
Great idea and really super built!
you programed it to say thank you?
wow...

lol when you pee or poop it says "Thank You"
ahahahhaahhahahahahah
that would be wierd because you are basically being watched by it. still very creative and interesting.
I suppose you used a sound sensor right?
I had no idea I was sharing a table at LW2010 with the original flush master!
That's the first thing I thought lol. It's still a fun idea though! I'd just be sure to disinfect the parts for reuse hehe.
What's the point of manual flushing? Is it that hard to actually press the flusher or w/e we call it ? Lol?
I built it and it isn't able to flush my toilet because the motor isn't strong enough. :(
Should have used gears for torque
only problem is the the batteries go dead after being on and in use after about 6 hours or so..
yes, with the color sensor. ;)
Upierz91:
no.
you can flush the toliet all you want, by the way it's a learning experience which is worth more than money
wow what is next? the Lego mindstorm ballistic missile?
@TheSniperofDeath maybe he wants to be u know.. futuristic with hi-tech furnitures?
That's a really good idea. If these are reproduced and sold people wouldn't have to buy those expensive auto flushers that are at big markets like Stop&Shop. Now... to make it less breakable...
lol you need to get together with the guy who made the toilet paper folder/dispenser : )
Were can I find lego mindstorms and how much?
with the program the set comes with
best NXT idea ever
Does it have a sound sensor? If you know what I mean :P
what a nice conversation...
how much water did you waste for testing it?
The only other improvement would be for night operations...LANDING LIGHTS!
finally a mindstorm creation that does something. i think i'm going to try to build a beer butler
so how many pieces fell in the toilet lol
@MrKiller00224
i think that was a used nuserning home toleit
got to show me how u did that
what if you got a toilet clogger?
yes but you have to turn it off and on or it will run out of battery
did they flush tank flapper it it work?
What was it saying and houd u get it 2 flush 4 u lemme geuss the moiton sencer
Another lego mindstorms project, a bubblegum sorter is featured right now. People are just following links.
You clearly haven't heard of an automatic toilet. Where do you live? Zambia?
did you use NXT 1.0 or 2.0?
So its finally come to this....
thats not very hygienic is it? Especially if your using those lego pieces again
Haha, nice. lol, Did you miss any parts in the toilet when making this? xD
@frickOfSickTrick it saves you seconds the manual is if you need a double flusher
america needs more of these
thats sweet. I gotta get one of those!
Nice, but one of the biggest problems regards closing the toilet lid ;) :)
BECAUSE I ALWAYS HATED THE HARD WORK OF FLUSHING IT; FEAR NO MORE HUMANS, THE FLUSHING ROBOT IS HERE FOR YOU!!! YOUR FINGERS WILL NO LONGER FEEL PAIN; THIS ROBOT SAVES THE DAY!!! HOORAYYY
Not really, because then everyone touches the button, so the button becomes contaminated too.
''have a good shiting sir'' ''come back again''
He hasnt wasted water, just their parents money.. But it was worth it^^ very nice robo :)
Is it 2.0?
@Seuneglacise You can't waste water, just money.
let it hold a water hole?
wow, one day they'll make one that will poop for you while you're watching TV(so you don't miss any TV, or have a TV in the bathroom) yet not taking away the joyful feeling of pooping! :)
hey how u make this??
FINALY A USEFULL ROBOT
I wonder how much water you wasted testing this.
@truthsofwolf you could make it into a gun and other stuff
its a motion sensor!
this should be avalible only if u forget every time to flush
You should detect how long he's on the toilet. If he's busy longer than 2 minutes, flush long, else flush short.
I totally want to build it and program it to same some creepy fucked up shit to my unwitting apartment guests
Once you get used to it, you're going to go somewhere, and just stand up and leave, and theres going to be a large loaf in the toilet..and someones going to get sick.

haha someone took a shit in the corner of my robotics class today. this just reminded me of that.
lol, its says thank you at the end, neat!
@Benrockn247 I think it says thankyou
how does it word??
I suggest that the machine you constructed is not flushing that toilet Its my view that the angles are all wrong for the flush mech and the movement is not enough to initiate the flush. Good concept but needs refining to work.
i like the idea but the toilet nov is not even even a 10 inches away from him.....
when it fushes himself?
can you made a code of practice
now wen u touch the toilet handle your putting germs onto it, but this way you get to put germs on to your nxt XD
That is really smart great with people who always forget to flush the toilet
you take the fastest dumps in the world...
*flip up*
one second later...
*flip down*
good for animals
HEY, WOW! That sounds just like on a sub when torpedoes are fired! LOL
