What innovative creations do you think we can make using sensors and the NXT Brick for the coming season?

Welcome

Greetings Robot Enthusiasts,

As we all know too well, using autonomous technologies has been making our lives easier and more convenient in the last few years. Our involvement in the FIRST LEGO League Robotics Competitions introduces us each year to a new theme. The theme for the 2011-2012 season was food factor and looked for ways to prevent food contamination between seed to store for our food products. Next year's, 2012-2013, season is all about Senior Solutions. They want us to examine how we can keep seniors fit, connected to the world around them, and mobile, always able to travel around. How shall we solve a unique problem and create an innovative solution that we can show off to the world for the season to come?

The challenge has been set. Now it's time to start thinking.

Mr. H
