We attended Dover Train Show on the 25th of September. Interest was high for our setup by the younger set. I put a mini cam in the Sante Fe Super Chief and showed the action through a TV. Also put a hanging spider web in the way to give some (...) (21 years ago, 6-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.us.gardenslug)

|
|
(...) I have, and it helps a lot. For instance, when comparing the raw light sensor values to some limit, I #define "<" to be "LIGHTER_THAN", for instance. That makes switching all those points very easy in the code, I need only change two #defines (...) (21 years ago, 3-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

| | #define-ing stuff for Chibots
|
|
(...) I'm not totally sure about this, but try playing around with #define In one language I use, the compiler will totally take out the variable, and put in the defined value, before compiling the program. I assume that's how it should work in C (...) (21 years ago, 3-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

3T - good name... 32x32 plate for the game sounds exceptional...you could break it into 10x10 squares with a 1 stud width divider...no edge markers (would add a little to the challenge maybe) Size of the cube: Using odd size cubes (3x3, 5x5, 7x7) is (...)

(...) What about Othello? That requires the robot to be able to place AND reverse the pieces. Not sure if 8x8 would produce very interesting matches, maybe a smaller board? Even 4x4 may produce interesting strategies... ROSCO (21 years ago, 29-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) This would be a timed game. The winner would be the robot with the lowest average time-per-move. Actually, I was just thinking about it. Even that may not be a good comparison. I think robots should play each other twice, with each going first (...) (21 years ago, 29-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
