"NXT Duel" Tests Your Reflexes

[DLuders]

On Brick Stack, Conrado constructed a "dueling" Lego NXT gun set to test your reflexes. He wrote,

"The NXT Duel is a game that tests your reflexes, entirely built with a NXT 2.0 kit. Play against other person, or play by yourself beating the computer challenges....Whoever shoots first after the bell rings wins. Watch out for distractions, like the crows squawking — if you shoot too early, you’ll lose.

"During the round, an orange flag will rise. Its purpose is to create tension since the bell is guaranteed to ring sometime before it fully rises."

There is a Single Player Mode, Two Player Mode, downloadable NXT program, and Building Instructions via Lego Digital Designer (LDD).

"There is some interesting research on reaction time....

* Reaction time for sound stimuli is smaller than for visual stimuli; 160 ms vs 190 ms on average. (These are simple reaction times. Since there are distractions in the NXT Duel, your response time will be slower.)

* Your reaction time get worse if you’re too relaxed or too tense.

* Your reaction time is faster during expiration."
