This example takes the project from Example 2, and replaces the potentiometer with a sound sensor from LEGO. Here is the project (same exact one from the prior example). And here is the robot with the attached sound sensor.  Please note… I’ve only put the sound sensor in this location since the robot isn’t actually [...]

I’m going to write about my adventures (and [...]
