How to keep count as the light sensor passes 3 black lines

Click here for the video

One of my team member has decided that he needs 2 light sensors, and one of the light sensor will follow the black line,and the 2nd sensor, will count the intersecting black lines, and at the 3rd black line he will stop the robot and do something else.
So the question is how do you program the robot to keep count on the sensor information.
Well, here is a very good video tutorial that explains exactly this condition.
simply substitute touch sensor for light sensor, and change the control value from 10 to 3.

EWeek at NJ Liberty Science Center

The 3rd annual Liberty Science Center Engineers Week Exhibition hosted by the FIRST LEGO League (FLL) team Landroids #109 will be held on President’s Day, Monday, February 15, 2010, 9 AM – 4 PM.

Each year, the top New Jersey FIRST LEGO League teams are invited to gather as volunteers for a day of robot demonstration and research project presentation to 3,500 to 4,000 visitors.

This year, the event will also include the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) and the Jr. FIRST LEGO League (Jr. FLL), forming a link between all three divisions, spanning from kindergarten to the high school level. Separate programming presentations offered by Storming Robots and LEGO models will also be on display. It will be a fun robotics day!

This LSC exhibition is a non-competitive, networking opportunity for the NJ teams. It is also a wonderful opportunity for parents and children who are interested in getting involved to see the robots up-close, and be able to chat with the teams and the coaches for more information.

This event showcases the top NJ teams from the 2009/10 season. This year will also include representative teams from the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) and Jr. FIRST LEGO League (Jr.FLL).

Videos of FLL Smart Move 400 Points

Here is a collection of videos of different teams that got 400 points this year. Some of them are very cleverly designed and creative such as shooting darts at axis markers. And others had built huge multi-part machines which seem overly complicated and unnecessary.
