My one tip (probably you all already know this) is I just discovered
that Duplo blocks are compatible (i.e. will fit with) regular Lego
blocks. Duplos are the big toddler sized bricks, and come in all
shapes, etc. They might be useful for people wanting larger structural
elements in their robots, and appear to be a little lighter than an
equivalent volume of lego blocks.
My questions involve the light sensor. I am using the NQC tools since I
don't have a Windows machine. Can somebody tell me the allowable values
returned by the sensor? And which direction is lighter, lower numbers?
Also, I'm thinking of trying to activate the light sensor with one of those
cheapo laser pointers. I thought it would be cool to zap the sensor from
across the room, and make it change direction. But even the tiny lasers
have those "Do not look directly into beam" warnings. Wonder if anyone
could guess whether it might also blind a sensor permanently. How fragile
are those things?
Thanks
Rick

I noticed that when you shine it directly at it it reads a 100 and the LED goes out. it hasn't dammaged my sensor as far as I know it still works as it (...)
