In this activity, a group of students each build an RCX robot. Each RCX is assigned a number. It will then have to tag the other RCXs with the number by using mail. 5 tags and the RCX takes on that RCX’s number. The winner is the RCX that has given its number to the most other RCXs at the end...

In this activity, set up an RCX “voting booth†to gather data using touch sensors. The presses will be recorded and plotted into a graph.

In this activity, design and construct an RCX tractor that is capable of pulling a heavy load across a floor. (NOTE: Gears will be needed.)

In this activity, use an RCX and a light sensor to trace the tracks of an Egyptian tomb raider. The police need to know data about the tomb raider so that they can stop him from robbing other tombs.

In this activity, design and construct an RCX car and program it to travel in a straight line until it hits a wall. Once it hits the wall, program the car to reverse direction and continue until it hits another wall at which point it stops.

In this activity, design and construct an NXT house which utilizes sensors. For example, have the house greet oncoming cars by turning the house lights on.

In this activity, design and construct three RCX cars and program them to run a relay race. Each car is programmed to start the next car on its team by using the Mail function in ROBOLAB.

Program a car equipped with a rotation sensor to return to its original place no matter how far it is rolled away from the origin. Attain this goal by using both on-off control and proportional control.

Is it possible for humans to survive on Mars? Help mankind take a giant step in this information gathering process by constructing a rover that has a wide array of remote sensing capabilities and sending it to the red planet to collect data.
