Thanks! I'll take "hardcore" as a compliment? ;-)
The treaded chain links came almost exclusively from Pitsco. A little
expensive, but I know of no other source. Nevertheless, I'm sure I spent
more on the electronics.
The light sensors have a built-in LED as well as a detector. If you look at
the
picture of the light sensor array, each sensor (blue) has a red (looks
pinkish
because of the flash) LED and a green (looks whitish because of the flash)
detector. The RCX powers the LED and reads the detector alternately.
