In this activity, design and construct an RCX car and program it to run
for varying lengths of time. The distances that the car travels will be
recorded and plotted into a graph to determine how long the car will need
to travel in order to make it stop as close to a randomly pla...

Using a sound sensor and an NXT car, design a robot that moves forward when a person claps somewhat softly, and stops when a person claps loudly.

Collect and display sound data from the NXT sound sensor in real time on the LCD display of the NXT. Also include the ability to pause the data collection by bumping a button to view a particular screen of data until another button is bumped.
