The project activities were developed by a technology education teacher and a computer literacy teacher.

• The full implementation of all, or most, of them requires a fairly substantial initial investment in technology:
  • primarily in the accumulation of Lego robotic kits and associated technology, and a smaller amount budgeted annually for replacement parts and software updates.
• Modified versions of the activities were developed over a four-year period until full implementation was possible.
• Technology needed includes:
  • one desktop computer per student team
  • Microworlds software for Logo programming
  • infra-red transmitters for downloading desktop-computer-generated programs into microcomputers
  • one Lego microcomputer per student team
  • a minimum of two Lego motors per team
  • a minimum of one light- and one touch-sensor per team.
• To facilitate the robotic-vehicle challenges, arenas of obstacle courses must be constructed.
