Downward-facing light sensors about jyro HOT 4 OPEN

@psychemedia I'm going to take a look at this this weekend. I'm not sure yet what is possible, but I do like the idea of generating art with a pen-down, and then another being able to follow it.

Happy to test anything... I'm going start posting stuff here over the next few weeks (in the first instance, largely a simple/direct conversion of current course activities, so they may be a poor fit. Reason for doing this is so I can then compare how "natively" designed activities might differ, which may give pointers to what notebooks are good for in terms of interactive instructional design...)

"do like the idea of generating art with a pen-down, and then another being able to follow it"

We did an art piece once: a grid of differently coloured squares with an RCX Mindstorms robot with a pen on the back and a line following behaviour. In the beginning, motion appeared random as robot "followed" different coloured squares and shadows, then it would stumble on its trail and follow that for a bit, before losing the line and wandering off again. (I wanted to call it "Stigmergic exercise" ;-)
