A day in the life of a humble software architect... doing C#, WPF, Silverlight, Legos, Fuzzy Logic AI and/or whatever is the latest and greatest or more importantly the coolest techo mumbo jumbo...
Even though I have not had time to get to lego robotics much I have seen the release of a number of additional sensors and related equipment. I did manage to build an alarm out of legos. all it did was sit above the item to be protected and sound an alert if anything entered a designated area and I used the touch sensor to determine if some one was messing with the robot itself. Anyway some of the sensors for NXT Robotics that are available include a Compass Sensor, a Color Sensor, an Acceleration/Tilt Sensor, longer cablesing, sensor prototype boards, Gyro sensors, IR link sensors, multi-plexors and more. Using these sensors I have seen things like Lego Segways and automatic guidance systems for model air planes... Here are some of the cool links.
