Re: Controlling the Mini-bot. How?

Oh, I agree that an NXT is not required, I was just thinking that the NXT and motor controller are a lot of weight to add to the mini bot if you can't get some inputs into it. It might just be usefull to do some "smart Motor control" prevent breakage and to help you return the bot to the ground at the end of play.

I'm not sure I'd be willing to assume that an inspector would equate a Limit Switch with a Lego Touch sensor (especially if they are an EE).

I guess I'll just have to wait for an official ruling.
