[Yr11 Information Technology] Robot

[Chay Ly Cheng]

Hi all,

yes it is quite easy to use. Again it just depends on where you want to
take them.
Also FYI, NXT is apparently becoming obsolete as of next year and the EV3
is most recommended.

At Sacred Heart Kyneton - we do it once in either year 7 and 8 and then an
extension elective for year 9.
