Before we begin construction of our NXT robots, it is important that you "speak the language" and know the names of the various Lego parts with which you will be working. The week of November 7th there will be a quiz on the basic parts; you will have time in class the weeks of October 24th and October 31st to look at the parts and to fill in the NXT "Parts Inventory" worksheet. I will provide you with a copy of this worksheet in class, but unfortunately, the copied version is not as clear as the original sheet which I created in color. I have attached the original to this blog post if you would like to print a color version of the worksheet. The best place to find the names of the NXT parts is on the "Parts Inventory" link on the NXT page of this blog. Study hard and I know you will do well!
