Thank you Steve, Brian, and Bryan for the clarification on the track size.

One more question:
Would it be possible for whoever currently has the track to post some
approximate NXT light sensor readings for the various positions across the width
of the track?.  I know that I need to calibrate for my own sensors and for the
lighting conditions at the event, but what I'm interested in is knowing how
linear the light sensor reading is compared to the position on the track.

Data preference:  NXT Raw sensor readings with sensor 1 LEGO unit from the
surface at approximate track positions 0", 6", 12", 18", and 24" (but adjusted
for actual track width)

Thanks in advance.  If the track is already packed (or even on its way) and that
this is too much trouble, then fine, no problem, I will deal with it in Chicago.

See you guys soon.

Gus

(...) Gus, 1) Steve has the track...just got it a few days ago...I doubt he gets a chance to make any accurate/repeatable readings in the time available. 2) The track will be available to roll out on the floor (or wherever) all weekend long.

(...) First, it's not a straight gradient. We wanted to make it with about three inches of black in the middle & the same in white on the outside. That gives the maximum range in the area where the robots will race. So, here are the numbers (nxt (...) (17 years ago, 20-Jun-07, to lugnet.events.brickworld, lugnet.robotics)

(...) That appears to be a typo. The track fits on a FLL table, so it's a 44"x92" inch oval. And the lane is about 2ft wide. It's pretty easy to build and program a robot for this event. It just needs to follow a specific shade (actual value will (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jun-07, to lugnet.events.brickworld, lugnet.robotics)
