This is an excellent low cost addition to the Mindstorm. By adding to the included light sensor the 2 light sensors can be used to track the front corners or one in the front and one in the back for bidirectional tracking.

I recommend this for one of your first additions to your kit.

I was shipped the wrong sensor. It was marked incorrectly. My 10 year old son was very upset Christmas morning.
