I can offer some suggestions. Part of the fun of Lego MindStorms is figuring things out on one's own ... but a few hints probably won't hurt. Because the light sensor is particularly sensitive to infrared (IR), you should be able to use it to locate (...) (26 years ago, 13-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
