On the 19th of September 2009, RobotMC organised its second Team Building Day.
In the months before the contest, a few hints are given out, like telling you which sensors you’ll be needing lots of. On the day itself though, you have around 6-7 hours of time to build and program your robot. And in my case an hour or so of that was wasted on reading a tutorial, as it had been a rather long time since I last worked with NXC.

There was at least one person who liked the idea, Xander, and we agreed to make some plans (and robots ofcourse) for it. So yesterday I got cracking in Lego Digital Designer, and poked something together. And today I got out the Lego and started building. Thanks to LDD’s building guide, it was done rather quickly, although I spent 90% of my time reordering my Lego in order to find the components I need. It’s very small, and hopefully quite agile.
