NXT-G Files

These are the program files used to control the 6 robots on the Lego NXT Pinball machine.  They are still a work in progress and are not yet documented or commented - that will come later when the programs are complete.  They are written using  NXT-G 2.0.

We decided to program the machine in NXT-G in order to use these files as a basis for sharing Computer Science concepts with the general public.  The files grew to be quite complex and pushed the limits of what is possible to program in NXT-G.
