(...) I like the ants idea. What you could have is a "home base" or somewhere the RCX's can return to (some simple sensor based thing), and then a feeding area. In between you have any number of obstacles. The RCX's draw, or follow lines left by (...) (20 years ago, 24-May-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
