(...) Not to put too fine a point on it, but the 100 cycle limit is only on the lock bits, I think. This is specified at the extreme limits of voltage and temperature. At normal room conditions, actual NXTs were reflashed (which cycles the lock (...) (18 years ago, 19-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

I suspect I might be able to use it to follow lines drawn by a black marker. (...) No. Well, kind of. I used a (...) (18 years ago, 18-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Hi Geoffrey, (...) Detecting 1x1 plates should not be hard if they pass close to fiber optic end to efficiently block light. (...)

Do this with more than one light sensor, and you can have much better spatial resolution (the ends of two fiber optic cables can (...) (18 years ago, 18-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
