This is a simple but really funny table game for two players. Hold you controller, and tap on the touch sensor as fast as you can! The horse will travel forward proportionally to your tapping speed, and if you lose the rythm, it will lose ground. This makes the challenge (and the fun) last longer!

The game is built using parts from a NXT retail set, plus the new tread links and black sprockets. Oh, and I had to go looking for my old minifigs and horse in the attic!

I intended this project as a pure recreation, no complicated hardware or software that I am used to deal with.

Here is a video showing a challenge between two players. It is a real satisfaction to build such a simple game and see two adults (!) enjoying it so much! Imagine the children...
