(...) I was thinking IR proximity sensors (HiTechnic). Given the experience I have with them thus far, I think they would work well in the environment described in the rules. I think the final robot would likely require more than one RCX, given the (...) (22 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

(...) This sounds like it could be a good idea for next year. Thanks for suggesting it. We might alternatively consider a "SMART-Team" robot. Any ideas on how to accomplish that?

(...) The challenge is mainly to start away from the rope, so anything you do to find it and attach youself to it is okay. It would be cool to see a robot be able to find it from a greater distance, or without facing it directly to start with. If (...) (22 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

Anyone know what is going on with them? They've been "reorganizing production" for a while now, long enough that I am wondering if there is something else going on. Plus there was someone selling custom sensors on eBay a while ago, which looked like (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

We've built a couple rope climbing robots, but both assume they are started pointed pretty much directly at the rope. One of them does a little searching to make sure it is lined up accurately, where as the other one gathers the rope in (...) (22 years ago, 25-Feb-03, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

David, Sorry to address this here, but I don't know how to get past your spam blocker. Can you provide me with a broadcast number for myself and another one for Joseph?
