Objectives:

Student will be able to:

1. Write an NXT-G program for a robot incorporating data hubs and data wires

2. Write an NXT-G program for a robot incorporating the Random Block

3. Write an NXT-G program for a robot incorporating the Sensor Block

4. Control the response of a robot through the NXT-G Move Block data hub with data wires from the Random and Sensor Blocks

5. Control the real-time response of a robot using data wires and Loop Blocks

6. Explain the role of each plug on the data hubs of the Move, Random and Sensor Blocks
