No no no. :) Did you see all of my post? I was thinking just run around
until you "touch" a puck. Make the mouth of your bot so the robot won't
extend over half of the puck but will only accept that shape. Make sure your
puck detector won't trigger when you bump into a wall. The robots could run
around fast enough (another object of the game) so that complex
puck-locating techniques wouldn't really be needed. Besides, you'll have to
use your light sensor to look at the floor to find the "goal".
This is all assuming you've got only one mindstorms box. I'm assuming that
really, that's a fair way to design a game, simply because I can forsee that
not a lot of people might have more than one kit. Of course, if we want, we
could put a light bulb on the top of the puck, and use two light sensors -
one looking at the floor, one spining looking for a brightest light... turn
off all the lights in the theatre? What if you're scared of the dark?

You know what's weird? I just realized I don't have a hockey puck. I'll have
to stop in at Wal Mart or something on my way to the St. Jacobs store. I
hate that name for a city. North Kitchener-Waterloo/Cambridge sounds better.
I can't believe it used to be Kitchener-Waterloo/Preston-Galt-Hespler. That
totally floors me.
