LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT has hit the world by storm, giving you the
ability to build your own robots and program them to perform all
types of actions. What kind of robots? How about five exploratory
robots, used to explore the newly discovered tomb of an ancient
Mayan king?
You are along for the ride with Evan and his archaeologist uncle
as they explore a Mayan pyramid complete with traps and treasures.
Using a variety of NXT robots, the archaeology team is able to move
deeper into the tomb towards the secrets of King Ixtua. But beware
of the traps! The pyramid''s design has successfully deterred
unwanted visitors through the centuries, and your team will need to
be careful and alert.
You will learn and use a design methodology that will teach you
about the new motors and sensors that your robot can use. Complete
building and programming instructions are provided for each robot,
allowing you to follow along and learn as you build.
Can you help Evan and the team of explorers navigate through the
old pyramid and discover King Ixtua''s tomb? Read the stories,
examine the environments, and build and program the robots that
will allow the team to move closer to the secrets of The Mayan
Adventure.
