I think the Lego Mindstorms have a light sensor (possibly as an extra
add-on; some sensors are available separately from the main bundle),
so it must be possible to construct a robot that will operate the
light switch for you automatically. This robot could have wheels,
tracks, wings, rocket launchers or a light saber, whatever hits your
fancy :) Personally I think the robot should throw ammo at you until
you get up, walk to the light switch, and operate it yourself; that
would be your day's exercise :)
