This is beautiful!
I, too, have been inspired by the cars driving around Legoland (though in
California and Denmark) but my solution has been to use the light sensor on
a visible track.
It occures to me that it would be very easy to adapt your sensor to a car
with conventional front wheel steering by mounting the sensor on the
parallel steering linkage. This is what I did with my SteerBot as well as
later steering robots that I have built but not documented.
Here is my SteerBot page.

Here is a photo of a more recent front wheel steering line tracker that
would take this sensor nicely.

| (...) Hi Gus, This is a very impressive project. Thanks for sharing the information. I tested your program with a similar bot just to see your program in action. It performed flawlessly. Bob Fay (21 years ago, 8-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics)

| Inspired by vehicles moving precisely along the roads in Miniland, I have created this homebrew sensor, which allows a RCX robot to follow a wire track. Since distance between sensor and wire can exceed 1 cm, the wire may even be hidden below (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics)
