Since posting this message, I have received a couple of emails asking what
sensors I used.

I used the IR distance sensors from Hi-Technic.  I won them at Brickfest.
Hi-Technic told me that they are going to be taking orders on-line starting
September 1st  (http://www.hitechnic.com)

Good luck with your own Legways!!!
