Here's a "rover robot" built,apparently, out of the new IR Bulldozer. August is much too far away. I like the look of those motors, not just for this but for GBC modules and other "simple" automation, and (if the IR system is compatiable) with the (...)

(...) Hmm, this is interesting. The capabilities that aren't used by the current firmware are very curious. I can see the purpose of multiple sprites and draw modes though. With that, you could do masked graphics. A mask sprite would be drawn first (...) (19 years ago, 22-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Having made an earlier suggestion about using file names to extend the capabilities, I've looked into it a little further and found something very useful. The 'NXTDrawPicture', or 'DrawGraphic' command can take an arbitrary array of variables. The (...) (19 years ago, 21-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
