Anders S?borg built an amazing scanner that can use either the light sensor that comes with the NXT or a HiTechnic color sensor. Each line of the image is created by moving the sensor over the image at a constant speed while recording the position and corresponding sensor values with a fixed sample rate.

I'm not always all about the NXT, there are just several cool contests going right now, this one from LEGO:
NXT NXT. . . ? Are you seeing double? Yes! We are presenting a doubly fun building challenge where you create a robot that uses 2 NXT bricks! We are also giving you double the amount of time to enter this challenge (projects must be entered by June 30, 2008).

Acimods contributor [Blizzrad] has just finished one of the cleanest mods we've seen in a while. With minimal modification to the outside of the PSP he was able to add an external PS2 controller.
