Matthias Paul Scholz made a cool Basketball playing LEGO Robot called NXTitzk, the name is based on a German NBA player. It can play in a user controlled mode or a fully autonomous mode.  An ultrasonic sensor is used to judge how far the basket is so that the correct throw can be performed. If you would like to make your own have a look at the detailed build instructions (PDF).
