Although our team didn't use the light sensor (or any sensors, because we ran out of time), the light sensor is probably more useful to detect when your robot is in a certain position... for example when an arm is fully extended. You can use colored electrical tape, which when passes by the optical sensor, could be programmed to stop. There is also the magnetic sensor that could be used for a similar purpose. I don't think the optical sensor was placed in the kit with the idea of detecting parts of the field, although that would be cool if you could get it to work that way.

Do you know how, say, Native American cultures were kept? They had storytellers, sages, and the like. They passed on their legends and culture to the next generation. So will we. - EricH [more]
