I haven't really posted much on here for the past month, because I've been busy working on my Google Science Fair Project:
As some of you might know, I built a Skype-controlled LEGO Mindstorms NXT car a few months ago; I decided to redo it for the Google Science Fair, and build it in such a way that people could use it to accomplish actual tasks. The UI now therefore features some new functions, such as driving backwards and the all-new "GRAB" function, which, surprise surprise, lets you grab a ball.My question for the Google Science Fair wrote:To what extent is it possible to use free existing online tools to create interactive, easily accessible robotic utilities and toys that can be controlled by users all over the world?
If anyone is interested in becoming a tester for the project, you can send me an email (address below), and we'll set up a time for you to use it (preferably either this or next weekend; I get home at about 5:30PM EST on week days). It will take you up to 15-20 minutes to complete the four challenges.
Thank you!

PS: The robot isn't 100% open to everyone at any time like it was last time, which is why I'm making the appointments. I'll send you the link for the Skype Call over email.
