Android Robot apps

After a long time i am typing down a post in this blog. I was in Chennai and came across this organization Robotix Lab Research Academy. They had a course called Droid-o-Botix. It was a course in which NXT robots were to be controlled by android apps created by us. We were creating apps using google's http://www.appinventorbeta.com/ I created a lot of apps and installed them onto my android mobile.
Here is the logo of the organization


To use my apps you must have the NXT 2.0 retail kit, And android phone with an accelerometer, android version more than 2.2 (FroYo) .
