In college (HBO) I did a project with a few classmates where we had to build a machine that could let a ball float at a certain height. We used different electronics to measure how high the ball was floating in the tube, but never did it really work. Then we discovered Lego Mindstormers, a great set of tools.

This worked really well especially because you can hook it up directly to the computer. With the information we got from the camera we could adjust the speed of the fan to make sure the ball was at the right height.
