That is pretty sleek! I can't believe I don't have two of these yet. (Come to
think of it, I don't even have one yet.)
But if you activated the ultrasonic sensor, it would probably tell the NXT
"watch out, there's a BIG TIRE right in front of us!!!"

Ha ha, that is a valid point. I don't THINK it will be a problem (there I go,
thinking again), The angle of the pictures makes it a little questionable, but
if I remember the specs I saw on the US sensor, I don't think the area of
sensitivity in the vertical plane spreads out quickly enough to "see" the tire.
At some point, I'll test the theory.
