You could use some of the rubber tubing and make shock mounts for the NXT.

Re: Mini bot Brain

So we dont need a brain to run the minibot?

You need a brain to design and build the robot but not to run it...no, you don't need the NXT if you make use of the 2 allowed standard light switches.

Re: Mini bot Brain

You are exactly right. All you need is a light switch facing upward on the top of the mini bot to stop it once it hits the top of the pole and one that is pushed when the minibot is "attached" to the pole and ready to go up. Simple circuitry

You could use RobotC or LabVIEW depending on your preference. What I can tell you is programming in LabVIEW isn't hard at all. You can download the NXT toolkit here (and you need this!)
