    My Artificial Intelligence course got me interested in playing around with the Mindstorm NXT 2.0. I spent a few hours with my professor Gerhard Trippen to build my Terrabot (pictures). Thus far, I have documented it being able to detect a collision and turn to avoid it. This uses only the front touch sensor. I really wish I had more time to work on it to activate and fully use all the other sensors as well.

    Denis (my good friend) has given me the idea of combining it with an RC helicopter in order to run reconnaissance missions with it.
