I agree Derek. I just raised the question to avoid the possibility
of a simple mechanical solution, as you have suggested :-)
At one point, I thought about the problem of driving straight and detecting
when the bot is just about to go over the side edge of the table.
So, as I understand it, we should not allow any part of the bot to extend
over the ends of the table at any time. Also, the robot can simply reverse
direction at the turn end, it does not actually have to turn around.
