| (...) With my current program, I really can't treat it like a broken line, because it's NOT a broken line. :) As long as the line is under the row of seven light sensors, the robot knows how it needs to adjust. When it passes an intersection, the (...) (21 years ago, 11-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

| (...) Could you treat it as a broken line? That is, only 'see' the part of the line that is on a straight path through the zigzag. I assume you have to program the robot to ignore the cross line of the loop in the course pictured: (URL) the (...) (21 years ago, 11-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

| (...) Actually, I think if someone could design a robot that would "appear" to follow a memorized line, that would be encouraged, because it's all about advancing robotics. However, wouldn't that be like going though a line-maze, without looking at (...) (21 years ago, 11-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

| (...) I'm kind of kicking myself for taking my robot to NorthWest BrickCon, which while it obviously had far far more Lego than Robothon, didn't have the emphasis on robotics of Robothon. I only found out after the events that Robothon was taking (...) (21 years ago, 11-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

While memorizing the course ahead of time might not be the intent, in the event description they encourage folks (...) (21 years ago, 11-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

Steve, Well you know how bad I am at programming and all, but my first thought on this was something like this... light sensor (LS)1 goes black then LS! & LS@ go black then LS1, LS2, and LS3 go black (depending on thickness and orientation of (...)
