266 The Ultimate Palm Robot

TIP: The MindRover RCX Pack Add-On is a $15 accessory to MindRover.
It lets you program Lego Mindstorms robots with the MindRover interface,
so you can see if real robots behave the same way as the on-screen bots.

To program the robot, you create “circuits” by dragging connections be-
tween the various parts of the robot. To turn, for instance, wire the thruster di-
rectly to the sensor, so it’ll run whenever it sees an enemy robot.

Other tasks require you to use logic circuits—you might only fire the rockets
if you can see the enemy with both sensors, for instance. That would use an
AND circuit.
