Quicker car racing interface
The box used to respond very slowly and the pulses were so quick that the computer didn't recognise them so we used a bistable to recognise the pulse through the input and keep it on until another input was pressed. We also changed the reading speed from 200 to 10 and we turned the trace off because it took up too much of the processing time. It is all shown in this video.

AT-AT Permission Granted
We've been given the green for GO to build a LEGO NXT robot AT-AT to be controlled by our controller. It will be quite hard building the legs!!

Master and slave NXT
We have finally managed to connect two NXTs together in a slave and master combination, this allows us to control one NXT remotely using another via bluetooth. This should pave the way for a far wider range of possibilities than before.
