Day 4 of ELF - Monday, July 10, 2006

NXT day! Today we introduced the NXT controller and LEGO Technics building techniques. So that the ELF fellows would be exposed to as many NXT and Robolab skills as possible, each fellow worked on a different challenge today. Maia built an NXT "Smart House" and learned how to program with Events. Peter built a crane boom controlled by an NXT rotation sensor and practiced with rotation sensor Wait-For icons. Sam worked very hard on a 2-touch-sensor remote-controlled car with pivoting front wheels. His programming included task splitting. It was a challenging day, but the ELF fellows made a great start at building their NXT and Technics expertise!
