| | | Did we sign off on the non-LEGO built sensors? Would we be able to use HiTechnic stuff for the next competition? And if it's not a sensor, but more of a modified wire connector, such as Rob S. built for his firefighting 'bot-- (URL) this piece (...) (18 years ago, 9-Feb-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

You can use as many or as few pieces as you wish." HiTechnic stuff has always (...) (18 years ago, 9-Feb-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

It was evil. I cant be sure, But i think Steve H was in the (...) (18 years ago, 9-Feb-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Geesh, one simple little puppy removal, and it gets all bent out of (...) (18 years ago, 9-Feb-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

With the premise that the 'bot 'could do it with regular 'LEGO' sensors, but the builder didn't swap 'em in and used the HiTechnic. I (...) (18 years ago, 9-Feb-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | (...) How about coding your robot so it doesn't twist them up in the first place. Adding the turntable in the wire means your wires won't twist up, which means they won't add tension to the connectors which means they won't pull off the connectors (...)

I just wanted to try something different, and it'll give me an excuse to use a soldering iron. I'll stay in the scope of the (...) (18 years ago, 10-Feb-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

But they're isolated situations. If you want to do it, go ahead. I will request (...) (18 years ago, 10-Feb-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

To do the same without it, would require more software (as Derek suggests) or (...) (18 years ago, 10-Feb-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
