(...) Steve's idea very much sounds like that "wall" we originally talked about hitting. Derek is right, the higher up you go the easier it seems to swing. With some re-codeing, I can get my bot to swing at any height, and so far the bottom of the (...) (17 years ago, 11-Oct-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) If it were me, this is how I'd want to do it. Assuming there are "legs" holding the bar, simply put a rope from one leg to another, about half way down. The goal would be to make the robot's rope touch the marker rope. Steve (17 years ago, 11-Oct-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
