  Re: some stuff... robot accuracy
 
(...) I also have some problems with accuracy, but I am gona igonore it since there is little I can do without a complete redesign. The thing has enough momentum to push the whole 48x48 board around, there is little I can do in software. And don't (...) (23 years ago, 17-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  check you wires
 
I'm not sure why I never noticed this before BUT i just discovered that one of my wires had a nic in it. just enuff to throw my sensor reading off by a percent. I've known about the erratic readings and i coded them out early on. I just changed the (...) (23 years ago, 17-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: some stuff... robot accuracy
 
If it makes you feel any better, I've been struggling with the same thing myself. My ability to get the XY accuracy down to the top of a tooth IS slowing it down and worse, (like Calum said) it causes a vibration in the EOAT. I don’t have a time (...)

  Re: some stuff... robot accuracy
 
(...) There isn't an answer--if your accuracy isn't tight, it won't ever be repeatable unless you fix it somewhere else downstream of the system (ie, a positioner chute like Derek's original idea for example) The block that is off its position is (...)

any ideas on how to improve accuracy when your accuracy is not repeatable???? Half the times the block is perfect but the other times it is always different, where do i look? its not like the inaccurate bloc is always in the same position the wrong (...)

  Anyone have a USB hub and rtl10.1 Gamepads, Part Deux!
 
Hi folks, Anyone here in rtlTorontoland have a USB multiport hub they can bring in for an event around two months from now? I have one, but wouldn't mind a second for a test area. Also, I managed to find another two of the iSFX pads from Suncom at (...) (23 years ago, 17-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

  Re: Scoring

  Scoring
 
(...) What if there was only 1 multiple RCX robot and it came in dead last…I certainly don’t think it would be right to call it the runner-up and even if we did it would be a hollow victory. Would this be fair to the robot that truly came in second? (...) (23 years ago, 17-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: remember the 1/n rule?
 
(...) I tend to side with Rob on this issue. I think the challenges facing us single RCX people (I only own 1, so I didn't really have a choice) are different from the people who use multiple RCXs. I know for me, the challenge has been to make a (...) (23 years ago, 17-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: remember the 1/n rule?
 
(...) Whoever said that was clearly wrong...Coding complexity increases with the number of RCXs...a good robot is much more than just an extra motor or an extra sensor. Should we change the scoring to be based on number of ports used? This would (...) (23 years ago, 16-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  remember the 1/n rule?
 
I remember in the good old days when we encouraged the use of one RCX. This quote is taken from rtlToronto's 12th post on lugnet: "In my mind a robot that needs 2 rcx to make one tower is only half as good as a robot that can do the same tower in 1 (...)
