Well its new to me. I can see it now. "Dave, there seems to be an approaching storm. It's time to stop our soccer game and get inside" eBay Link, Datasheet Link
--------
Franklin Lightning Sensor provides early warning indication of lightning
storm activity within a 40km range
- Provides distance estimation to the head of the storm
- Detects both cloud-to-ground and intra-cloud (cloud-to-cloud) ashes
- Intelligent algorithm provides for false disturber rejection
- Programmable detection levels enable threshold setting
for optimal con gurability
- SPI and I2C interface is used for control and register reading
- Automatic antenna tuning
- Supply voltage range 2.4 to 5.5V
- Power-down, listening and active mode

Here is another one for motion detection for up to 20 meters. *eek*
Microwave Doppler Radar Motion Sensor
Datasheet is here: http://www.apollounion.com/en/down.asp?filename=Upload/DownFiles/HB100.pdf
Edit: see post #6 for better one.
UPDATE: Here is another lightning detector that popped up.

If I run across anything interesting I'll post it up.
Always looking for more goodies for R2.
I've put this other laser range finder in other threads but I noticed it isnt on this one. Here goes!
Cheaper laser range finder.
Thanks a lot. A appreciate these updates. I check them often.
Here's a cool one using Nitinol AKA Flexinol as a sensor and actuator:

I imagine these would have to be mounted backwards with the flat side against the inner plastic wall of your bot and use some decals on the outside.
