Oh, darn. :) I guess I can share now that one of my ideas was to measure the
resistance to forward motion of different cans (ie, friction) using an
arrangement with a rotation sensor and the wheels on the robot. This would
allow me to figure out the weight of the can. But, if the floor is carpet, this
very likely will not work.
Unrelated to carpeting; but is anyone else having a heckuva time coming up with
a design/strategy for this?! I've got about 4 giant sheets of paper full of
sketches, but nothing concrete. This is proving to be far more challenging than
I thought! There are so many ways to go with this, based on different
assumptions.
