I finished one yesterday.  It works fairly good.  I don't think that
mine is exactly like his.  I couldn't get the gearing to work the same
for the grabber.  But it's very similar and works like it's designed.
The hardest part was getting the cam turned to the correct position
along with the grabs.  I also change the program slightly to stop when
it hits the touch sensor.

I am also starting to dislike the light sensor.  It's very sensitive
to how bright the room is lit.  I have to change the black/white
threshold values for day and night use.  Guess I have to get brighter
lights to work under.  Every once in awhile bot will find the brick
then try to center and overshoot the brick never finding it again.  I
think this is a lighting problem.

Very interesting build.

Thanks Ben for the design, program and great pics.  Lots of great
ideas.
