Thanks David
We thought we would put some black tape down and test our robots. Thanks for
decribing the kinds of turns to negotiate.
My son has already built a line tracker that "picks up the empty milk bottles",
I'm trying to get him to build a "milk bottle drop off" feature,
since that is what the mini challenge is about.
Now I'm getting excited about building a "Milk Man" too.
Your NQC tutorial has inspired me program this robot in NQC.
Thanks,
Mike
