It’s tough working away from home knowing something you’ve waited months for is sitting in a box in the living room. Thank God it was Thursday! My work week was officially over and I could fly home and meet my new LEGO Mindstorms NXT. And boy, what a first impression! They weren’t lying! Even a complete novice like me was able to construct a robot in less than 30 minutes. Okay, but I was too chicken to upgrade the firmware!
