(...) Chris, Sure it is, as long as the NXT cables are long enough to place the sensors where you want on the track. As you already figured out, the tricky bits are in the software. Here is pseudocode for what I would do were I to program it in G (...) (15 years ago, 19-Aug-10, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

I am hoping to build a race timer mechanism using my NXT and 4 touch sensors. Essentially I need it to be similar to a pinewood derby timer. I am holding a LEGO car race for our homeschool group, and would love to be able to do all of the timing (...) (15 years ago, 18-Aug-10, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
