We were alerted to this awesome video of the NXTBee: obstacle avoidance.  The NXTBee is used to send data back to a computer where it is processed and gives commands on how to proceed.  

A few weeks back we announced a new product, the NXTBee USB adapter.  The adapter connects your NXT NXTBee’s to a computer. Now, we’re going to give one away . . .

Brane wrote us with a project he did for his engineering coursework that uses our NXTBee XBee Radio for LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT:

We recently wanted to distance test the NXTBee.  In this post, we review some of the distance results of testing the distance of the NXTBee XBee radios for LEGO MINDSTORMS. The NXTBee has some major advantages over the Bluetooth module found on the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT.  The advantages include:

Mark at Mastincrosbie.com has just released a leJos class for the NXTBee. The new class makes it easy to integrate wireless communications with the NXTBee into your LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT project.

We've recently been working on an example to communicate directly to individual XBee radios. The NXTBee allows for mesh-networking and a whole lot of other really awesome capabilities of the XBee radio system. One of those capabilities is to be able to send messages directly on a single radio, and only that radio.

Mark Crosbie recently developed an advanced, yet easy to use library for the NXTBee. The library surpasses anything we've developed for the NXTBee in terms of ability to send data: both for ease of use and for advanced user capabilities.
