2:00 PM, September 10th 2008 - The FedEx guy delivers our Tetrix kit .
. . a HUGE box, but missing two key components, without which we cannot build a
Tetrix bot.
One of our coders immediately sets to work, getting his RobotC code to link
up his laptop and an NXT bot for remote control - looks good!
And then we are off to mentor at a weekly SYRA FLL meeting - more to come!
By the way, the smaller box on top had an X-Box 360 returning from repair
that arrived the same afternoon - almost as important to the team as the new
Tetrix kit!
As of 5:45 PM, September 11th, the HiTechnic DC motor controller interface
and the HiTechnic R/C servo motor controller interface are being shipped, which
will complete the Tetrix kit.
