Well, I've already done that, as well as a nifty display meter, and some other
stuff that depends on trig functions... but I did it all in NXT-G, without the
toolbox:

I'm looking forward to trying your custom stuff, however, as my NXT-G trig
functions (particularly atan()) were getting ugly... How did you implement the
trig functions (Taylor, lookup, or other)? I didn't use Taylor because of the
inaccuracy around 90°, but under LV, it might be easier to just push the the
approximation to better levels.
