Hi,
I always wanted to go to those events but it seems there is always something in
my life that prevent me to. I'll try to make it to the next lunch at least.
As for my suggestion.
May be it would be possible to confront a robot to a maze (wich would have no
dead ends) and make the robot map it. The robot would have to come back to
"home" and download what it has mapped. Is it feasible? This involve a lot more
programming than building. What do you think?
I also really like the idea of Iain with the high cable.
Has it ever been proposed to make robots(2) that do cooperative work to
accomplish a task?
