Cool vid! But I've got a question: I also saw this at other NXT Machines, why are there these pegs at the motor which turns the tracks?

@legofan431 Good question! It's to make it easy to turn it by hand.

@Laurens200 when the batteries are empty? :D

@123Maffin oh okay cool! thnx

[OCoptimusconvoy]

@123Maffin oh cool does it work with all of them? How come they say you can only use them for this and this?

[WorldofMindstorms]

@OCoptimusconvoy It's also because that's the way most official lego robots are built, so NXT-G keeps those input positions as default for the different sensors. But it really doesn't matter which port you use (except for #4, which is faster), especially with official LEGO sensors.

[OCoptimusconvoy]

@123Maffin ya but 1 and 2 are for touch, 3 is for colour/light, and 4 is for ultrasonic.

[OCoptimusconvoy]

Awsome! You can have three colour sensors in one nxt?!?!
