There is a reset button on the NXTBrick. If you hold the brick so you can read it - facing you - then turn it around - there are six holes across the top (and bottom). In the top left hole is a hard reset. Get a paperclip or long screw driver and hard set the brick. Then connect it to a computer and reload the firmware. (Make sure you have new batteries while you do this).

When turned on, nothing goes on, but you can hear a faint tic sound. If so, you need to plug it to the Nxt console and update the firmware. Currently I think it is 1.3.

Our NXT brick won't turn on! We tried pressing the reset button under the USB port, but it still won't turn on. Any suggestions?

The center platform must remain between the stairs and the ramp."

The rule says " the robot gets onto the center platform". Does this mean the robot has to be completely off the ramp and/or stairs and only on the center platform to get the 65 points or as long as some part of robot is on the center platform, they get the points. And what if robot is carrying an attachment, does that also have to be completely on the center platform? We also have seen at times that the robot does get to the platform but either its back wheel or another small part is in the gap between the platform and the ramp, so how will this be judged?
