 | | Thoughts on drag racing
|
| First off, this competition sounds like some good, mindless fun! So I started building a drag racer over the weekend and have a few thoughts. Starting: I am wondering about starting methods. How are we going to ensure the drag racers start at the (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jul-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| I finally opened one of the two 4496's I bought. (I know Derek bought like a skid of them.) It's a nice collection: More 2xN than 4107. Closer to the famed 3033. Lots of slopes. Some plates. A bit of grey, DGreen, LimeGreen, orange, LBlue etc... (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jul-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| (...) Well, actually, that code works fine (running MacNQC, a fairly recent version, with 2.0 firmware). One thing to check, code-wise, is to display SENSOR_1 on the LCD, and see what the numbers are (is it set to raw mode? Is the sensor bad (I've (...)

|
| Hey all, I know I must be doing something very simple wrong here - but I can't for the life of me figure it out. What I'm trying to do: Have a light sensor pointed at a surface. Pass that value off to a variable (the variable then contains the (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jul-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| (...) You wouldn't need to have a line. Simple edge detection would work. As for the oval track, we had an "Indy 5.00" event early in May. The track was a white piece of paper, with a white to black gradiant printed on it. The whole thing was on a (...) (20 years ago, 3-Jul-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| (...) You might want to consider having two 90-degree turns, in opposite directions (so that you finish traveling in the same direction in which you started). That way both contestants (assuming there are only two at a time) will have the same (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jul-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| I know how much you guy value my opinion, so I thought I'd offer a suggestion which would prevent rtl 17 from being a totally lame event. Most of the rtl events are more a question of "Can you accomplish this task?" not "How well can you accomplist (...) (20 years ago, 2-Jul-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
