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 do.

   Wish I could be there Monday to show it off.

I’m trying to clear things up to make it. As I said in a previous post, it looks like I’m out of the speed competition.

(...) 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)
