They are 2 french students that added 2 external sensors to tuxdroid. They  
posted the description on the script forum at  
http://www.tuxisalive.com/tux-droid-forum/scripts/438899757

 From what I understood, they added an IR distance sensor (Sharp I guess)  
and a humidity/temperature sensor (Sensirion probably). They told in the  
script that they would do the hardware hack to add these senors and sell  
this modified version. I have no idea if this is legal and I don't see why  
it wouldn't as they buy the original tuxs from Kysoh. I think it's a good  
initiative and as I also wanted to support external sensors, I think I'll  
try to work with them in order to do the software/firmware developments  
with the community.
