Project Name: Balloon Battles
Controlled by: Remote Control

General Comment. Adrenalin will pump in this one

Rules FOR STUDENTS

​You must use:
-1 NXT or EV brick
-3 motors

You must:
Build a robot that can pop another robot's balloon, before yours gets popped!

Tips For students

Tip: Cars with four wheels will go straighter, but leave tyres off two wheels so it still turns.
Tip: Cars that use gears will go faster. A big gear on the motor and a small gear on the wheel will make the wheel turn faster. To use gears, the wheel's axel can't go through the motor's hole.
