Saturday Academy just got our shipment of 12 NXT's. I've got 2 one-week summer
classes this week and next that I can test these on. Of course, I still have
our tried and true RCXs to fall back on. And so I wonder.
Sorting, installing software then building the "quickstart" model to it's full
compliment and running it (along with the learning curve) took me a few hours.
It would probably take me the better part of the weekend to build and program
the next three models.
In the process, I keep wondering how "pile-it-on" 10 year olds will deal with
no-studs-holes-based construction, linkages, visual object oriented programming,
programming blocks with at least half-a-dozen variables, wire-wrapped argument
passing with data typing, etc.
I suspect we'll have lots of "broken wires".
It's a brave new world! Forward and onward!!
