This is for the Olympics challenge. It can lift heavy things(for its size and its own weight). It lifts thingsand holds them up for 3 seconds. And then, after it puts the object to the ground again, It says "Fantastic !" after it succeds.

Easy

This model is probably the easiest to build. You just need a NXT kit and you are up and running. Try Tetrix parts for NXT and RobotC for programming language (Experience may be needed).
Anyone can probably build this robot under 45min.

I would like to see it pick up something that was on the table rather than its grippers.
