COOL! But how do you make a program with the mindstorms comminuseerd that you do so the computer can control? I try to explore all three years because I do a lot with computer programming.

The laptop use matlab to process the image, calculate the move with c, passing the move info back to matlab, then matlab send the command to robot(nxc) via bluetooth or usb.
