  Re: 3T
 
(...) Well, sort of. You seem to be using a light sensor to read a mechanical system, not observe the blocks themselves <grin>. And, as my post implied, I ended up with a mechanical system. It's just it doesn't allow all the fun stuff I wanted it to (...) (19 years ago, 1-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc, FTX)
 
  Re: 3T
 
(...) Well, just for comparision, mine uses three touch sensors, two light sensors, three motors and one RCX... And doesn't have a prayer of matching a 4 sec move. As it is, if I add another parallel task it fails to accurately register positions, (...) (19 years ago, 31-Dec-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
 
  Re: 3T
 
(...) My plan is to use six touch sensors, two rotation sensors, three motors, and one RCX. Hopefully. Steve (19 years ago, 31-Dec-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
 
  Re: 3T
 
(...) I know how that goes...I just got back the stuff I loaned to the FLL Teams. (...) What about total sensors? How many of each type did you end up using? I forgot to mention in my earlier post that I am also using 2 polarity switches and a (...) (19 years ago, 31-Dec-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
 
  Re: 3T
 
(...) I've been working on mine for the last couple days. I've been having a problem, but I finally figured out I have a rotation sensor that's going bad. It's done a few different things. At one point, it counted from 0 to 24 (when moving across (...) (19 years ago, 31-Dec-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
 
  Re: 3T
 
(...) Thanks Steve - I really wasn't trying to share that much :) ...John had the chance to see the first cut at the mechanism when you guys were here. Obviously, you put 2 and 2 together. And how is your T3 robot doing? B (19 years ago, 31-Dec-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
 
  Re: 3T
 
(...) Why would you think that's strange? That's the normal difference you'd get between black and white. While John and Brian are pointing their light sensor at the cube/square to check for one of three states (black cube/white cube/no cube) you're (...)

  3T and Hi-Technic Parts
 
It's really too bad that the use of non-Lego sensors and the like is frowned upon for 3T. I think I could get a little more speed out of my robot if I used John Barnes' new motor drives and at least one RC Buggy motor to get the robot to the board. (...)

  Re: 3T
 
(...) Hmm..how strange...my T3 robot uses a light sensor to find the blocks and I am having no trouble at all distinguishing all the information I am after. I think I am getting a light delta of around 20 or 30. That seems to be plenty. But, I am (...) (19 years ago, 31-Dec-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc, FTX)
 
  Re: 3T board & rules
 
(...) Not many comments. Sorry. The game should end after the last robot gives a signal (handoff). That way it can be timed by an external source (not just someone watching the game) (...) We haven't much discussed clearing the board. We are (...) (19 years ago, 27-Dec-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
