I picked the two most excited boys to work on the Tribot. After a few minutes
on their own, they asked to switch to the RCX. That lasted for about half hour.
With only the tutorial on a Windows XP laptop, they succeeded in their very
first programming of the NXT. They were trying the sound blocks when we ran out
of time.
Tomorrow, I'll hand them two NXTs in the box. I'd like to see how they like
building without studs.
