I did read up on the hardware user guide for this box you can basically get rid of all he nxt software and write your own stuff and have it interface to your own hardware full specs are available. I was tempted to try and make a 3 axis low power cnc mill out of it but I thing I'd need more lego.

The limit of my fiddling was to make a car that rushed towards a wall as fast as possible, then broke at the last possible second...used the sonar to measure the distance, then worked out the breaking distance by process of elimination... some dents in the wall were involved...
