I had to watch the videos a few times to believe it, but I must confirm this new high score, 4 days only from the deadline - and someone managed to throw the ball as far as 11 meters! This is almost twice the distance of the previous high score, and certainly a hard challenge to overcome.
Once the deadline if over, I’ll be adding a Challenges section to the main page, and describe in some detail the different submissions received for challenge no. 1. The second challenge will begin at December 1st, and will be a programming only mission using the TriBot design, and will require also the test mat supplied with NXT retail set.
