Getting ready for Chibots... I pulled together a new GBC module last night...needs some reliability tweaking for dropping balls off the lift...oh, and it needs an in box...but it works pretty good for iteration 1 of a new lift...it is a conveyer (...)

(...) Very cool. We totally understand the popularity. We saw it at BrickFest. It's great to see people just standing there watching it run. (...) We know how that is, also. Sure, the first four or five work great, but then we start throwing them (...) (19 years ago, 25-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) I posted about this a few days ago. (in what I thought was the right group but maybe should have copied more groups? : (URL) ) One of the co-creators sent me quite the amazing writeup about this creation, the project is more impressive than it (...)

Looks like they had a cute little GBC with about 17 modules at Legoworld 2005 (URL) here's a full-sized pinball machine, that appears to use at least 13 RCXs. (URL) (19 years ago, 24-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

Of course, I still have some stuff in NQC, but anything new is BrickOS and database...I am sure I will run into something that I actually have to code eventually. (...)

(...) Well, you got me beat - I'm running around 40 cm/sec on my course (4+ meters with at least 16 6" radius turns, including a "L-R-L-R" section as well as a couple of "R-L-L-R" sections. And even then, it still looses the line on rare occassions (...) (19 years ago, 23-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc, FTX)
 
  Line Following & Chibots
 
Well, I may not be competetive yet for first place. But, I am pretty happy that I am running a robot around a 5 meter track with lots of S-curves. And, the robot is doing laps at 55 cm/sec pretty consistently. Unfortunately, this robot has hit its (...) (19 years ago, 23-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc, FTX)
