Great topic Todd and timely too. GPLR (Greater Portland LEGO Railroaders) are already working on something up here in Portland. There have been so many requests for another BrickFest PDX that we thought we'd do it again! So far we've started talking (...) (20 years ago, 6-Sep-06, to lugnet.events)

(...) Unfortunately, you cannot operate a ultrasound sensor at this rate. I think it is much slower than this.

I notice that no maximum depth is given by the standard. How potentially non-compliant would a renderer be if it fails because parts in a model are too deeply nested (a maximum of as little as 16 on some OpenGL implementations). I notice that no (...) (20 years ago, 6-Sep-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi, (...) since sound travels at about 333 m/s (depending on temperature and pressure), a meter takes 3 milliseconds. At the maximum range of 2.5 meters, times two that would be 15 milliseconds per reading. Cheers Jürgen (20 years ago, 6-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics)
