In this lab you will be introduced to the LEGO RCX and the Robolab language by assembling a Tracker and completing the Pilot Training Missions.

• With your partner, checkout a LEGO MindStorms kit from EECS Tech. Support on the third floor of the Science Building.
• Obtain 6 AA batteries.

   • Accept the default option to run the training missions from your computer.
   • If you do not have Apple's QuickTime, you may wish to get the latest version from Apple's web site. Otherwise the Robolab installer will offer to install an old version. (You should already have a current version of QuickTime if you are using the standard MSOE laptop image.
2. Copy the three .dll files in the Engine folder into the main Robolab folder (where Robolab.exe is located).
3. Organize your LEGO MindStorms set using your gray parts tray.
