My Mindstorms Ultimate Accessory Set arrived last night.

It contains:

* remote controller, which should enable me to embed my RCX deep into my
model, or alternatively, save me from leaping up all the time to press the
Run button all the time (couch potato robotics)

* rotation sensor, which should enable me to measure the turning of an axle
and hence provide finer control over movement

* another touch sensor, the basic set comes with 2 and more are useful

* a lamp, for which I have no particular immediate plans but I guess I'll
think of something

* assorted Lego technics bits, including 2 mystery items - yellow piece with
two blobs on it:

Anyone want to hazard a guess what they are for?

So far, all I've done is open the box. I will report back when I've had a
chance to have a play.
