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
using a mechanical sensor to feel cube, and a light sensor to look at the state of
the mechanical sensor.

It's a good strategy (and a bit harder to implement) and you only have to
distinguish between two values.

It is kind of strange that after hearing how they're doing it, you'd compare your
results.  :)

(...) 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)
