Hey folks,
First, as a rough count, how many folks are coming to rtlToronto8 (June 9th,
Saturday) with a robot for competition? And how many are coming to watch?
Then, how many people are using single RCX vs multi RCX? Single unit vs
multiple units? Single light sensor vs multiple light sensors?
Anyone using a single light sensor configuration for rtlToronto8? Victor
and I spent Sunday working on a prototype robot and had a sensor angled at
the floor that could also see a block. We got reasonably separate readings
for blocks (both white and black) and floor, but the issue is that once
you've got a block, you can't read floor anymore to tell if you're in enemy
territory or back home to discard or keep.

| (...) ALL I can say on this subject is that -Whatever I bring, has sucked up ALL the light sensors I own.- BUT if you need more sensors, all you have to do is this: CALL 905-841-0600 and ask for Customer Service then tell Angela you want 1 or 2 of (...)

| (...) I should be able to bring a robot, but mine isn't coming together as nicely as I would like. I have a really slick three wheel driving base built, but the gathering/sorting mechanism has been tough to build. My original idea resulted in about (...)
