hmm. That could be pretty cool. Maybe I'll have to get some of that track...

also won the advanced line following event (with a slightly different program).

| No, I've still not made a LIDAR webpage for the site (I'm also considering a line-following page - Steve, I know you wanted to do that at one time on your site). But a few posts on LUGNET caught my eye: (URL) ran it through (URL) for a (...) (19 years ago, 27-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
