Ok, thinking out loud now: Well, what about a home run derby or the like? Maybe
a machine that pitches and a machine that hits... We could use those red and
blue spheres that come with the nxt... Would ultrasonic sensor work for
detecting the moving ball? Would a hitting machine require too much torque and
spin apart? Maybe kickball would be easier? How far can an nxt hit a ball?
Would eye protection be required? Would we need to wear a cup?
Running the bases would be simple; infield fly rule might be tricky... :-)
