Session 2 - Challenges

Today was the 2nd session of the Fall Season. We went over the various components of the LEGO Mindstorms NXT Kits, including:

• NXT Brick (computer, display, buttons, ports)
• Servo Motor
• Touch Sensor
• Color Sensor
• Ultrasonic Sensor
• USB Cable
• Sensor/Motor cables

We learned the basics of programming the Mindstorms NXT.

The 11 members were broken up into 3 teams. Team A, Team B, and Team C.

Teams were given mission cards. They built each project and had them reviewed. This became competitive as teams tried to rapidly complete the missions and move onto the next.

Here are the challenges:

Motor Challenge 1 - Rotations Forward



Motor Challenge 2 - Rotations Forward/Backwards


Touch Sensor Challenge 1 - Laser
