 | | 3T —Steve Hassenplug
| | | | So, I have a program written for my Tic Tac Toe robot. I haven't tested it, yet, because I don't have a robot. :) The really odd part is that the program is about half the size of the line following program I used last month at Chibots. I still need (...) (19 years ago, 7-Dec-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
| | | | | | | | | | Re: 3T —Brian Davis
| | | | | | (...) OK, now that's annoying. I just spent this afternoon culling the System bricks for enough black & white to just build the board. I really haven't thought about the coding yet, as I usually build the robot first. I'll have to think about the (...) (19 years ago, 7-Dec-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Re: 3T —Steve Hassenplug
| | | | | | | | (...) Actually, I do have a robot. It seems to be working well, except I need to add some electronics. You know, like motors & sensors. (...) Right. Steve (19 years ago, 7-Dec-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Re: 3T —John Brost
| | | | | (...) Well that tells me that your line following programs are WAAAAAY too intricate! Oh wait, no, probably not. By the way, I did some more testing last night. I'm finding it near impossible to use a light sensor and tell the difference between a (...) (19 years ago, 7-Dec-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
| | | | | | | | | | | | Re: 3T —Chris Magno
| | | | | | (...) John, Do me a quick favor, quickly mount a lego light right on top of your light sensor and "aim" it at your blocks. You might find that solves your problem. Chris (19 years ago, 7-Dec-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Re: 3T —John Brost
| | | | | | | (...) Yeah, that would probably make it work. Only a couple problems with it. (1) I don't have a lego light (big problem) (2) if I had a lego light, I'd have to get power out on the 35+ stud long arm that moves in and out over the playing board (...)

| | | | | | | (...) well then, instead of light, why not use touch? its only a 3x3 board. you know were you put your blocks, do what I did for project X, and what Steve copied for C$. Press until your at a point you know there is or is not a block. When it comes (...) (19 years ago, 8-Dec-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

| | | | | (...) I finally ran into the same problem at high speed last week. Rats. With or without an accessory light, the difference are just too small to deal with... or at least trust. So I took off my nice, compact light sensor, and had to invent a (...) (19 years ago, 23-Dec-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
| | | | | | | | | | | | Re: 3T —Bryan Bonahoom
| | | | | (...) 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 —Steve Hassenplug
| | | | | | (...) 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 (...)

| | | | | | | (...) 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)

| | | | | | | (...) 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)

| | | | | | | (...) 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 —Brian Davis
| | | | | | | (...) 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 —Bryan Bonahoom
| | | | | | | (...) Well - I actually timed my robot this afternoon. The average move is actually 5 seconds...and, it may be a little longer before I am done as I might put some "dancing" in the mechanism to ensure the cube is properly deposited. We'll just have (...)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Re: 3T —Brian Davis
| | | | | (...) 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)

Two rows of racks for my forward and back motion help keep the robot going perfectly straight (until a cube (...) (19 years ago, 1-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc, FTX)
