At this point, there really aren't limits on LEGO parts. Bryan
hasn't posted (publicly) about his robot, but I think he's using the
controller from the RC buggy for his, along with four motors.
Both John and I have robots that look very much alike, but
functionally are quite different. They both use NXTs, and the large
wheels. I'm told Greg and Andrew are working on something using
their NXTs. No details.
We talked about a 48x48 size limit, but that's starting to seem
bigger than we need. It seems like we could place the "cones" close
to 32 studs apart, and have an interesting path to navigate. I need
to make sure Bryan's robot will work with that size.
We need to start-up with monthly meetings, again. The next would be Jan 21st.
