Can Robots Mindstorm? - Day 1

Lecture
We attended an introductory presentation about the basics of programming LEGO Mindstorm robots using the NXT-G Envirnoment.


Practical Assignments
Today we had to do the following tasks:
- look in the web for more detailed NXT tutorials, handbooks or guides and include links in the blog,
- modify the continuous scanning program to show in the NXT screen the angular position and distance for each measurement,
- optional: modify the continuous scanning program to register the angular position and distance to the closest object.

Links to some NXT websites:

We have done the second task and saved the program file on the computer. We also tried to do the optional task, but not so succesfully (so far).
