a) One robot at a time, or races between two. (One/Two)
|
Two, but with individual timing as well like I suggested
here.
| |
b) On table or on floor. Understand that the floor is dirty and may not be of
even colour, texture or level. (Table/Floor)
|
Table (but one track or two?)
| |
c) Allowed to stick out over edges on stopping/turning around if on a table?
(Yes/No)
|
Yes...but only at the far end...as I really don’t see how this detracts from the
game as faster speeds = more accelleration and greater velocity = longer
stopping/reversing distances = more excitement as bots almost go off the edge
(onto the soft pillow below, ‘natch).
| |
d) Do you want the U-turn, or just a drag race straight? (Yes/No)
|
U-turn (Return to start zone)
| |
e) Should start and stop distances vary during heats? (Yes/No)
|
Start should be fixed at the 18”. Stop can vary...that way a purely mechanical
solution would still run (using the table edge to reverse, since acording to my
c response hanging off the edge is OK...) but should take longer than an
optical solution that is looking for the line.
| |
Decisions I don’t think need to debated are:
1. Start method is manual based on a “go” from the judge/timer. I don’t want
to preclude any solution with a IR command.
|
Agree...as I suggested here
again to use a drag race/countdown tree start... But as I only own one RCX, I
can’t voluneer to provide the timer bot...
