| | RCX Roverbot morphs to NXT
|
|
I brought in all our RCX pieces for this week's "Lego A.T.V. Droid" class. I figured the kids might want to create a tracked robot or two. I made one myself after several kids struggled to create a sturdy base. At the moment, I'm staring at my (...) (17 years ago, 18-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
