This small help file contains details associated with BenderBot's programming.

The BenderBot programs should be downloaded to the NXT with NXT-G v1.0 software (higher NXT-G versions have not yet been tested but may operate seamlessly).  One NXT unit's memory can hold all of the BenderBot programs.  However, some NXT files (sounds, 'Try Me' demo programs, unused/older programs, etc.) can be deleted if memory becomes crowded.  Redownloading the firmware to the NXT will restore everything to the factory default state.  Please, refer to the NXT-G manual for details on how to complete firmware installations.

Installing the BenderBot programs:

1.  Place the BenderBot .rbt files in a folder on your computer where you can find them and open them with NXT-G.

2.  The "beats08.rso" sound file should be placed into the folder located at C:\Program Files\LEGO Software\LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT\engine\Sounds  This sound will be listed with the others in the NXT-G Sound Block and will be 
automatically downloaded to the NXT when you download the 
program that uses it.

3.  Download each BenderBot program to the NXT brick and run one, play with BenderBot as described in the book, and run the next.

Please, If you make something and would like to share I would be glad to see.
