Chapter 3. the test robot
You’ll need a robot to use as a test bed to run the example programs in the rest of this book, and you’ll build that robot in this chapter. You’ll construct a simple, three-wheeled TriBot that’s easy to build with NXT parts. The robot will incorporate all the NXT sensors, and you’ll be able to use it as a single general-purpose robot in testing a wide variety of programs.
