Robotic Transformer

 To enter an unofficial MINDSTORMS building challenge on the official MINDSTORMS forum, young humanoid built a simple RIS 2.0 transformer that could move while in upright or flat position.  In flat position, the robot moved forward like a car until its front touch sensor was pressed.  Then, it would play a sound, and two motors would rotate the yellow and black beams to push the robot into the upright position.  The robot would then move backwards and forwards before lowering itself again.
