Education graduate students at Marshall University trained to
take LEGO Transportation on Wheels to schools. They learned to
program, build LEGO Dacta Cities and Transportation models,
organize materials, run the Red rover software, and send
programs to SENSORS CITY. The LEGO Transportation Outreach On
Wheels will go out to schools in West Virginia  including
schools in McDowel County to continue robotics over the web from
Big Creek High and other schools.  These three trained for 12
hours during 2 half days and one long day.  They checked out the
LEGO Dacta building instructions.  Then they programmed the RCX,
the LEGO microcomputer, using RoboLab.   At the LEGO City at
Marshall University they used the Red Rover program to run the
City and the Rover at Davis Creek Elementary.  One car used one
motor and gearing to go both right and left.  With two light
sensors the program can have one motor go when one sensors reads
greater than the second, or the mo
