Distance-Sensing NXT Model for Teachers and Students

Here's a basic, distance-sensing model for students and teachers, found on the "Matsu Blog" web site. (Click on the above picture for an enlarged view).
The model's pivoting, ultrasonic sensor is connected directly to a motor. The sensor pivots 180 degrees to search for the "open road", then heads in that direction.

Thanks for featuring my second robot! I've only started messing around with Mindstorms since last week, it's good to know that my first efforts are appreciated! The entire blog post can be found at http://matsu.blogdns.net/?p=345
