Thanks Brian!

If the people at this meeting will enjoy this demonstration as cool as my
kids did, It will be a major success!

And JennToo is amazing! He is simple, cool design, have personality and it
is very flexible. If I get some time until tuesday i will plug some kind of
robotic arm on it.

Thanks again!

In five days, you need something really simple that you understand.
Something
like Tribot, but make it clear that you know what it's doing. Another
really
small, *extremely* simple chassis is JennToo* (and a remote control for it
as
well, if you have two NXTs), there are plans for it (and for a lot of
other nice
simple robots, RCX and NXT based) here:

Another place to look is on NXTlog (although documentation is often in
short
supply) or the NXTasy repository. Philo has some nice stuff up as well:

Including a small spy-cam equiped rover, and joystick remote control.
Steve
Hassenplug has an application to remote control an NXT over BT from a PC
(as
well as a bunch of custom blocks):

And for snippets of NXT-G code, I've got a bunch up, but most of them are
not
full programs:

OK, ball's in your court - now what?

[Alpha Rex] seems to walk crawling it's feet instead
moving then... am I right?

You're right - walking like a human is... non-trivial.

*disclaimer: I built JennToo, but James Isom over at LEGO Ed West gets
*all* the
credit for CADing it up.
