It's been a long time coming, but I finally got my NXT unit shipped out across the country so I could start tinkering with it... but the components have been separated into two shipments, and I have no idea when the second will arrive.

The primary parts—the brain, the servos, the wires, the sensors—those are all here. The pieces necessary to build the actual structure, on the other hand, are not entirely here.

At the very least I'll be able to dust off my copy of Parallels and start coding again! That's honestly the hardest part of all this, but for now it's all I can work on, so I guess that works out. I might have to hack together a power supply, since I'm not a fan of batteries, and my reliable rechargeables are disappearing as friends 'borrow' them for this or that.
