Mindstorms

We started building robots today.  It was not too hard.  After putting together the starter robot (45 minutes),  Chuckles spent all morning programming it to do little scripts which she entered directly into the robot on its screen.   She had the robot respond to noises and the robot would turn and move towards the noise.  She played all sorts of games with it.

It wasn’t long before she wanted to dress the robot up like a dog!

Later we tinkered with the Mindstorms software. The NXT-G program seems daunting at first but ran smoothly and was quite empowering.  I want to use the Bluetooth feature so we can beam the programs directly to the robot. 

So far so good!
