This can be fixed.... through careful programming and sensors positioned correctly... Sensors often provide good results when used correctly... The line sensors are a pain in the put (especally with this years game) but rotation sensors work miracles. They can be used in ways that only a little kid could think of...

Keep in mind.... It will only count as fast as the RCX can process it... If it means loss of torque.. then do it... This years game only needed torque for the ATV test... so don't use the counters on it...

Lego League is not a question of torque it is a question of programming... the better the programming the better the robot... You might have the best robot in the world but without using good programming you will run out there and get a 50 point match... where as if you have a "bad" robot with some awesom programming you will be liable to get a 200-300 point round average (talking from experence)

Well Thats My Nickel...
