Abstract
The easiest way to extend the reach of your NXT inventions is to use the motors that came with it to operate the electronic controls of appliances and other equipment. The motor simply needs to be mechanically arranged to push the buttons, turn the knobs, or flip the switches on the external device to control it. The NXT motor makes it easy because it has a lot of torque and has built-in position feedback.
