An observation...
It is well-documented that the Scout can communicate with the Micro Scout using
its red-light emmiter. The optic fibers transmit light quite well for this
purpose with one drawback - only one end of the fiber has a connector. I've
found that by slipping a pneumatic tube over the fiber's small end, both ends
are the same diameter. The small end now fits in the half-grey connector fairly
tightly and it's centered. If you need greater length - use a tube the length
of two fibers with the small fiber ends inserted towards the middle. The fibers
are now joined and there is a connector at both ends.
Running the optic fiber judiciously through a few beams between the two units
will prevent them from bouncing loose.

all working together)
