I have daydreamed about the concept of 'mapping' a room using the datalog.
The general idea would be to use the rotation sensor to measure out a room
in 20 X 20 cm sections and log a 'zero' for clear sections and a 'one' for
obsructed sections. I haven't followed through because I haven't easily
determined a way to have the RCX access its own data log.
If someone has figured out how, please let me know.
