You could base the program on a loop. The RCX has a built in timer -
and you can read this in NQC -
http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/inf/von-Hanxleden/mindstorms/Programmierung/NQC/timers.html.
The loop checks the state of the sensors, and how long they have been
pressed. if the sensor is no longer active - go to a "loser" routine,
and if the time has expired do the victory routine, otherwise, stay in
the loop and continue checking and making random movements.

You may want to have another timer in the loop set up to do the random
movement - since you dont want to move every time round (it may still
be moving) - this also minimises the chance of the loop ignoring a
"hit" or "miss" because it is in other gubbins of the loop and not
checking the sensor.

I hope this helps
Danny

laser pointer in the light sensor for more than, say, 3 seconds. so the
robot will try to avoid that and dodge the beam by moving randomly and
at different speeds. i am a NQC newbie and i cant figure out the way to
make the program check if the light sensor is "hit" for 3 seconds.
any help will be really appreciated.
