I had a 3 finger gripper that I gave up on a few days ago. I decided not to enter if that idea didn't pan out. Tonight, Janey said that I had no choice but to build a bot. with her encouragement, I came up with plan 3.14. v2 At this time, I have a (...) (16 years ago, 9-Jan-09, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

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.
