The NXT to NXT communication works very well, and is easy to use.  Here's some
video of an NXT controller for an NXT robot...

Neat!  You used the NXT motors as inputs on the remote control?  How stiff are
they when you do that?

   Very cool- the differential is very well designed, especially using only
parts from the NXT.


The motors offer little resistance when used this way.  However, there's
something else which I think is kind of cool.  If you look close, when I let go
of the controller, the paddles return to the middle, and the car stops.  Using
just one block at the start of the program, I set the motor to "stay there" so
when you push the paddle forward, it springs back.

   Thats what I can't figure out how to do. I made a (modded) version of Brian
Davis' DAZLR and using my grandfather's NXT have made a Remote control for it.
The "stay there" would be very useful, as in my controller the program requires
that the three paddles be started from the 'full reverse' position, meaning that
DAZLR shoots off in reverse and firing spheres until the paddles are raised to
the neutral position. Whith the block that you mention, would it be possible to
have the paddles raise 100 degrees and then be set to "stay there"?
