I know we don't have a date set for the next meeting, but I was thinking
that maybe Ross and myself (and anyone else for that matter), might like to
do a Mindstorms challenge.  If someone comes up with a good idea for a
device/robot etc. then we can try to build Mindstorms creations to meet the
challenge.

G'day,

Nope...no date set as yet [how about either the 23rd or the 30th Sue-Ann and
David?]

As to a good robot/device...something to counter those confounded flying
SLUGS when next we battle them :)

[Actually, a good one would be to design something to work with a train
lay-out that will sense a train approaching a crossing/whatever, and
activate boom gates then raise them when the train has passed. [Another Idea
would be something that will not allow a train within a certain distance of
another train [uses same idea, but would require altering track sections so
that each section was powered seperately.]If this sounds OK, let me know and
I'll try and make a better list of requirements [1 or 2 mindstorms bricks,
etc.]]

How about something fairly simple to start with, like the fastest
line-navigator or something? Just to see how it goes?

(...) This is the sort of thing I was imagining (sorry Ben). If we can come up with some simple rules say by early next week, we can get started. Martin (off to think up some simple rules). (23 years ago, 5-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.au, lugnet.loc.au)
