quite well.The program is divided into 2 parts, front and back. The robot will travel forewards untill either of the front sensors are tripped. When one is tripped it sends a "true" value to a filter block which says "if 1 or 2 trues are recieved, send true" This block sends "true" to the split, which then takes the appropriate action. While it backs up, it runs a similar process for the back sensors. It is surprisingly light, while being very solid. The wires are a bit of a mess, but I blame TLC for only including 1 short wire. I used a brace system to stop the tracks from bending upwards. I hope you like it.

An Improved C.A.S.
This is my latest NXT creation. It has 4 US sensors and 2 servos. It is supposed to avoid collisions and drops. It acuually works

Brickfest PDX Photos
I took some photos at Brickfest, so here's a slideshow
see the photo set on Flickr or the same photos but with videos too at Picasa
Note: I may take down the slideshow soon because it's taking up space in my Flickr photostream and I don't want to have to shell out $25 for a storage upgrade.

Just for fun I decided to make a Mac OS X Dashboard widget that shows our latest posts. It's no work of art but if you want it, download it. (requires Mac OS 10.4+)

Butt Scratcher
Yet again I display my amazing(ly immature) sense of humor, this time with a minifig, having set down his flamethrower-like-device, scratching his rear

The Orange Menace Needs a Dentist
One major downside of the carnage brought by the late professor's creation was the lack of good dentists who had not been eaten.
