There's your code, your sensors, and your maze.

I like it too! Now whats the object? To get from one end to the other as
fast as possible? There certainly isn't much need for the RCX, but I suppose
it would be nice to have the robot figure out which way to turn... Would the
pipe maze be reconfigurable? That would make it more interesting if the
pattern changed with every run, kind of like project X. Would one or two
robots run at a time?

ONE ROBOT: Get from one end to the other

OR

TWO ROBOTS: We have a symmetrical maze and start the robots out from both
ends.  The center is marked, and whoever is further into enemy territory
wins.  Goes from navigating treed pipes to sumo at the very end.

The pipe maze WILL change every round.

Calum
PS-who wants this instead of rice for rtl14?  Which means we have to think
of another contest for BF.

(...) No I don't want a contest that I'd actually do for 14. I want to spend time on Altenburg. Derek (22 years ago, 4-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
