The Flusher:

The flusher is mounted under the toilet bowl cover for the extra weight. Flushing requires no gearing, the NXT motor is strong enough to flush every time.

The Ultrasonic Sensor:
 

The ultrasonic sensor waits till it detects someone in range, then waits till that person is out of range. A polite thank you, and then flush!
