(...) Why would you think that's strange? That's the normal difference you'd get between black and white. While John and Brian are pointing their light sensor at the cube/square to check for one of three states (black cube/white cube/no cube) you're (...)

It's really too bad that the use of non-Lego sensors and the like is frowned upon for 3T. I think I could get a little more speed out of my robot if I used John Barnes' new motor drives and at least one RC Buggy motor to get the robot to the board. (...)

(...) Hmm..how strange...my T3 robot uses a light sensor to find the blocks and I am having no trouble at all distinguishing all the information I am after. I think I am getting a light delta of around 20 or 30. That seems to be plenty. But, I am (...) (19 years ago, 31-Dec-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc, FTX)

(...) there is some new kind of harry potter "ball" that has a magnet in it. some version of Jeff Elliots train car detector could probably pick it out for this. Anyone played with harrys ball? Chris (19 years ago, 15-Dec-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Oh, that would be a cool module, in addition to a ball counter. How would you display the time? Is there a way to do it besides using the RCX display? You could use the Red ball that always got stuck in your ball sorter at BrickFest... Steve (19 years ago, 15-Dec-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) That was my intention. Since the Horta eggs are slightly bigger, droping the balls onto twoproperly spaced parallel rails should work: soccer balls fall between the rails, while the horta eggs roll down the rails and back into the module.
