I appologize for not getting this out sooner. Here are the 'official' specs
for the Simon Says robot. I've written them as a NQC program so that anyone
can use it, even if they haven't done much programming. But feel free to
modify the way the program works, as long as the end result is pretty much
the same.
Originally there was some discussion about having a 'return to front' type
of command, but after discussion with Gus, we decided that this would be too
complicated to make sure it works right. So for this version, we'll leave
that out. If we can figure out a good way to do it 'properly', we'll add it
back in later as message 36. But probably not until next year.
Also, I've increased the time per command to 2 seconds, because someone
noted that some of the commands might not be able to be completed in 1 1/2
seconds. I hope that this will be enough time. Perhaps an alternate solution
would be to have varying times for various commands, but that adds
complexity that I'd prefer to avoid if possible. If we do go that route,
though, what commands should be allowed longer times? Turning multiples of
90 degrees? Moving multiples of an inch? If we make those variable, can we
cut down the time for the other commands to 1 second?
The program below should be put in program slot #2. This way all the robots
can be started simultaneously with a remote. Make sure you put the program
in the right place! Also, the 'commanding' program, if your robot gets
chosen to be Simon, should be place in program slot #1. Have some fun, be
creative with the kinds of commands you call out. Just make sure you give
enough time between calling them out.
I hope everyone has fun building this robot, and that you'll be able to not
only bring it to the SMART meeting on the 28th, but also the NWBrickCon at
the Seattle Center the first weekend of October! The more robots there are,
the better it will look!

| One detail I forgot to mention about the Simon Says robots - the IR window of the RCX should be facing the "front" of the robot. Also, since the 'caller' robot will be placed on a slightly elevated platform, in order to receive calls when you happen (...) (22 years ago, 4-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.us.smart)
