NXTLOG Holiday Helper Building Challenge
All work and no play around the holidays you say? You need a holiday helper bot to lighten your load, and brighten your day! This winter holiday season, we're looking for robots that can help you with the holidays. Can it be a NXT that illuminates lights itself? A robot gift wrapper? A tree decorator? A Santa detector to wake you so you can see the man on Christmas Eve? The ideas are limited only by your imaginations. There's no limit on amount of LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT sensors, motors, NXT programmable bricks, HiTechnic sensors, or Bluetooth communication you can use on your NXT Holiday Helper Bot. All entries must be tagged "holidayhelper." Entries must be submitted by December 31, 2012. What will you make?
