WOW, I just came back from Dave's site. Good work. I do not even have
a concept YET!!
while reading all about how Dave will win the next event, he said:
Where's the line, which side of the line is the 'bot on, what colour
is the block, where does
the 'bot take the block--All logic problems that have to be
remedied both by codeing and
physically changing the 'bot.
so this got me to thinking. we promised a "grey" playfeild (cause we
were too lazy to re-paint the board) and a black AND white line down the
center. the idea was that no bot had a black or white home advantage.
and any bot could figure out direction by reading the sequence of
grey/black/white/grey.
So I just had a look at the playfeild picture here:

I'm wondering if the grey is to light in colour to contrast with the
white??
I went out and bought official white electrical tape.
for those who care I bought it at Paul Wolfe Electric. for $0.98(Can) it
is 3M Colourflex, Colour Coding Tape, White.
it is 3/4" wide. (sorry Iain) and I thought that 2 strips side by each
should be wide enuff for a bot.
with out actually setting up the play area (which is in storage) and
laying down tape and taking light reading....... Oh I don't know. I just
thought I'd mention this too all, so we can whine about it. Its getting
late and my wife wants to know why her computer is acting stoopid.
