BrickCon, which takes place on the following weekend. So the mini-challenge is
to build an interesting tour-bot which we can show at the con. The robot needs
to be able to track lines and make 90-degree turns at the intersections. While
we had much bigger ambitions about what the robots might do while driving around
the city streets, for just this event we'll be scaling them back to just having
reliable robots driving around the city. The next time we show our robots, we'll
have them doing all the interesting things we previously discussed.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the meeting, and hopefully at BrickCon
2008 the following weekend!

David,

Are any additional details of how the SMART-Bot City robots supposed to work
published somewhere?  I remember that we discussed a lot of ideas about how to
space intersections and whether they would be marked, but I don't remember
details of the final plan.  Tracking lines and 90 degree turns is obvious
enough, but what should we plan on doing for detecting intersections and/or
keeping track of distance traveled?
