John,

Do me a quick favor, quickly mount a lego light right on top of your
light sensor and "aim" it at your blocks.  You might find that solves
your problem.

Yeah, that would probably make it work.  Only a couple problems with it.  (1)  I
don't have a lego light (big problem)
(2)  if I had a lego light, I'd have to get power out on the 35+ stud long arm
that moves in and out over the playing board (smaller problem but still
annoying)

But yes, I believe that is the solution.  I moved the whole robot to my kitchen
table and once I re-calibrated for the new lighting, it did work.

By the way Chris, congrats on the Brick it Forward project.  Truely an
inspiration...

John

well then,

instead of light, why not use touch?   its only a 3x3 board. you know
were you put your blocks, do what I did for project X, and what Steve
copied for C$.  Press until your at a point you know there is or is not
a block.

When it comes to the light sensor; you can make it work in your
basement, but the room lighting on the day will bite you.  trust me.

Brick It Forward was a lot of fun. And work.  I got a lot of positive
replys from people.

Chris
