The Second Week

Today, we first did the planning out of our Hansel and Gretel rescue map. That was probably the easiest part of the day and it ran quite smoothly. Then after morning tea, we switched over with the other groups and started on the challenge. The challenge was to program the NXT to drive through two bottles in a figure eight. We taught our buddies the basic controls for programming the NXT from a laptop. Doing the challenge was really frustrating. The robot kept bumping into the bottles. Even when it dodged the first bottle it would always hit into the second bottle. In the end, we didn't get to finish the challenge. Apart from that, the day was pretty fun. Then at 12:30, we had to begin our long, hot and tiring bike ride back to school. Can't wait to go back next week!
