    Re: Just a few highlights and points... —Brian Davis
   (...) Agreed. Using two rotation sensors could certainly work, but that takes two RCX inputs, leaving me only one light sensor for line following (OK most of the time) and detecting & describing junctions (rather more difficult with a single light (...)

   Brian, don't read this. (he's trying to work it out for himself...) :) (...) While this is a good "brute force" method of mapping a maze, you'll be saving, and trying to use quite a bit of information that you don't need. Assuming you can identify (...)

Agreed. although if we start running mazes with loops (like Alegomazer did) I think mapping, physically, the maze will likely be needed - if for no other reason than to know when you've closed a loop.

        Re: Just a few highlights and points... —Brian Davis
   (...) Yes, I'm sure that's it - you just *imagined* you maze-solver worked ;-). (...) Hmm. OK, that's got me confused. I *know* I'm storing more information than needed, but each node in the path only takes 2 bits? If those two bits encode the (...)

        Re: Just a few highlights and points... —Steve Hassenplug
   (...) Nodes I haven't seen have a value of zero. Every time I [re]enter a node, I add 1 to the value that's currently there. If there's no right turn (I follow the right "wall"), I add 2. When the total is 4, you're done searching that node. So, (...) (19 years ago, 28-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc, lugnet.robotics)
