Re: DARPA Sensors

if you have a mindstorms kit or two around, play around with sending the IR signals from the rcx and then use the light sensor (or multiple light sensor) to have an IR "radar" thingy.. i havent really worked too hard on this as im not much of a programmer but i have tried it enough to prove that it does work. obviously it works better on whit walls and not so well on skinny obstacles.. but if you worked hard its definitly a way to have a lego robot capable of avoiding obstacles without having to come in contact with anything. makes for faster running..
