Mario (et al.):
Was it you who built the soccer-playing robots that were exhibited at
MindFest last year? I'm inquiring because I've been working day-by-day on
Robotics at the office (see
http://www.wordsmithdigital.com/mindstorms/diaries.htm , if you're
interested), and want to develop a robot that will locate, kick, and
re-locate a ball--much the way a cat might play with a mouse.
My recollection was that the soccer robots used a ball which had an
IR-emitting LED inside. I'm interested in the type of ball used and the
schematic/parts for the IR-emitter, as well as typical detection ranges or
problems.
Thanks!
