## Plan
## Plan
As suggested in the lesson plan, we plan to use Philippe Hurbain's NXTway [1] as inspiration for construction and programming, and Brian Bagnall's code [2] for his balancing robot as inspiration for programming.

In [1], Hurbain provides some advice on optimal conditions for the NXTway, which we will take into account when implementing, evaluating and revising our program.

We plan (or hope) to finish the activities within 5 hours.
For these exercises Camilla will be taking notes, Nicolai will be programming and Emil and Ida will be in charge of the experiments.
