(...) Wow. You found a mechanical way to separate the white blocks from the pit? That's pretty impressive! I would like to see that. So before you go destroying your robot to build one that picks out black blocks instead, could you take a few (...) (21 years ago, 7-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) That actually makes sense. (!) Though if you put a light brick directly opposite your light sensor, you should definitely be able to distinguish between having nothing there, and having something there. And when something is there, you should (...) (21 years ago, 8-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
