In Spanish, lejos is pronounced how you would say lehos in English.

Yes, but most of us here don't speak Spanish. And when you, themindstormman, said you'd change that, I thought at first that you meant you'd use a "J" instead of an "H". But it seems to have turned out to become just capitalizing the last three letters.

Dear themindstormman
It's a very good idea to share with us your projects, and be sure you will find challenging competitors here, du to the high level of knowledge people have and share here.

1] In one side, with lego pieces interaction, i would say b) c) a) d) and, in other hand, electronic design and use, f) custom sensors and e) custom firmware (to support custom sensors). In order i prefer and use most of my time mixing b) and f)

2] d)NXC, and k) GCC for the NXT brick and AVR studio for NXTcam

3] 2 NXT1.0 and 1 NXT2.0, with enough LEGO pieces to be able to build another 2.0 kit (including the 4th NXT)... and lot of hitechnic and mindsensors sensors and custom parts from many suppliers as rotacaster or technostuff.

Most insperation comes from observation the rest comes from imagination; Then the visualtion must become a reality, the harder part to do but with out the latter nothing can happen.
