| | | | | The halobot I built uses a pure lego mechanism that does a similar trick with a rotation sensor ((URL) I use it for bump detection, but it would be serviceable as a tilt sensor. It takes a pretty good "tilt" to register the rotation sensor in a (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
