I recall someone put a pair of light sensors out on the end of very long arms
out in front and back of the robot.  This meant that they moved a much larger
distance than if they were mounted close to the wheels so that their relative
lack of sensitivity can be compensated for.

IIRC, this worked but looked very ungainly.

Hi: I am sorry if this is a repeat question. Did anyone successfully stabilize the Legway using standard Lego light sensors ? Any links or proofs, code, etc ? Thanks Barry (20 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics)
