I had a question, I've been looking around on the lego pages looking to see
if there was a way I could escape a light sensor (being used as a proximity
sensor) or maybe not a way to escape but a way to attempt to hide myself
from it. We are doing a predator/prey competition (I'm the prey) and are
very limited on what lego parts we can actually use. We can use almost any
non-lego products that will help us (to a certain extent). I am currently
using a light sensor mounted to the front of my bot as a proximity sensor
but we are forced to do a trial run and I just know someone will see my
design and attempt to copy it. So my question is I guess, is there anyway
to camoflage myself somewhat from my own device??

| Kent, I would cover your model in aluminum foil to make it highly reflective. From what I understand, a light-activated proximity sensor "looks" for a change in the light around it. Thus to be undetectable, make your model as bright as the (...) (24 years ago, 20-Apr-01, to lugnet.build)
