We have about 54 NXT sets. Our oldest ones, purchased just as soon as the sets were available, are now 3 years old. After about 100 running hours, they are finally giving up the ghost.

(...) I saw a "WeDo 2 Puppet" project on the Scratch website that specifically mentions the use of the tilt senso so I suppose it must be possible to use sensors as well. "The scratch project uses the tilt sensor to decide when they spin" Jetro (15 years ago, 11-Jul-09, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

So far as I can see from the Scratch interface, there is control of one motor, but no sensors. (There are sensors via the ScratchBoard, but not through the WeDo interface.) I don't have the WeDo hardware, so have not investigated further. Kevin (...) (15 years ago, 10-Jul-09, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
