Two groups each time built a LEGO project that involved a motor.
Then they programmed it using Red Rover and then operated it from the
Graph User Interface view on the computer.
They went over to their TAG room and ran the programs for their projects- they teleoperated it.
They could see it all happened by watching the camera view on the computers.
