Windmill in March 2002
Data logging light sensor readings is like "seeing" the difference between light and darker.
Try facing towards a bright window with your eyes shut.
See if you can tell when a hand is in front of your eyes.
The light sensor on port 3 at the LEGO CITY is like "seeing" when the windmill sail is in
front of the light sensor. Try figuring out how fast the windmill is going around.
Make your RoboLab program data log for port 3.
Note that ROBOLAB can be used to write a web page of your experiment.

March is windy in the LEGO City and in the City National Bank.
February was the month of Heart and Olympics.
A publishable page on the rate the windmill before March 15 with results within 10% of the actual rotation rate will be rewarded.
*The prize is one LEGO Dacta Cities and Transportation set.*
Note: not included is RCX, batteries, IR, RoboLab, or shipping.
