hi all--

lately I've been playing with legway-inspired ideas.  After much frustration, I'm finally getting
some results using a standard lego light sensor with some custom enhancements (not taking it
apart, just adding a lens and a light source).  At this point I think the problems are more
software control than hardware issues.  I'm curious if anyone has been working on something
similar, and/or would anyone be interested in trading ideas, designs, and software?  The eventual
goal is to design a two-wheeled balancing robot that can be built with standard Lego parts.  I'm
convinced it's possible.
