Legos at work


My job was fun for an afternoon. I just built a lego robot. It was critical that it be tested before the kits could be sent out for classroom use. I needed to figure out which parts to track the return of, and if it could be used in another class or not. I saw no other choice but to give it a test run.

This kit is super cool, and ridiculous, really. There are online communities of these Lego Mindstorm junkies. Anyway, I built this little robot with a claw for picking up stuff. It has all kinds of sensors: sound, light, and ultrasonic. Tomorrow I get to write the program to make both the robot and the claw move. Should me more excitement.
