Lego Mindstorms NXT competition
« on: October 14, 2011, 02:52:28 pm »
So I signed up to this French NXT competition between French IUTs (and a Québécois CEGEP) that consists to build a robot under 4 hours with the problem only known at the start. Sounds awesome? Yes it is.

And I heard there's loads of programming languages for the NXT, like ROBOTC (we have a licence) and C#. A teacher just lent me his NXT set until next Thursday (which is the competition day). Now I guess I need ideas to do something with this?

Edit: Best idea will be made and I'll probably send pics.

Build a robot that follows a line to a destination, retrieves an object at that destination, and then follows the line back and gives it to you.

This is cool. I am participating in a competition like that, but we make our robots out of machined aluminum, and program them to reach certain goals in RobotC.
