OK, I Brought a RCX with a light sensor to work to measure the reading
of the playfeild.
I've got good news and bad news.
First: I was too lazy to bring the entire playfeild up stairs and lay it
out JUST to take a light reading. So I painted a small 10" x 10" (sorry
Iain) square of plywood with the same paint. I put down 2 coats. and
allowed each to dry. this is darn close to the original. (in the
original we used some other light colour paint as a primer)
Then I put down a strip of electric tape, then I put down a strip of
White gaff tape (since I forgot to bring the white electrical tape.)
Next I took some measurements.
NOW the bad news
The day was overcast. I had all the florescent lights on. at 1" from
the surface these area the reading I got.
grey playfeild - 46%
Black tape - 34%
White gaff - 51%
What's bad about this is that the difference in number between white and
grey is small.
So I put down a strip of masking tape (regular colour) And a strip of
misc. yellow tape.
masking tape - 48%
yellow tape - 49%
All these numbers are VERY unscientific. But it gives and Idea. As
always show up with the ability to change your program.
Let me know if this causes anyone stress.
