I have a couple of ideas for a challege


   1) Line tracking with occasional breaks in the line.  The breaks could
occur regularly after some distance and be of a given distance.

   2) Find the "token".  A round ring like the sumo ring.  White with a
black line around it.  Somewhere in the arena is a "token" which the robot
needs to find.  The token could be an object that sticks up or could be a
piece of black (or other) tape.  The robot starts dead center facing a
random direction.  The winner is the one that finds the token in the
shortest amount of time.  A time limit could be imposed to prevent waiting
all day for a lost robot.  Leaving the ring would disqualify the robot.


   3) Line tracking, but instead of the fastest time, have a goal for a
given time, say 20 seconds.  The robot that completes closest to 20 seconds
wins.

   4) Sumo w/ walking robots - no wheels allowed (well at least not for
thier traditional purpose).


These are good ideas, Nathan.  I've added them to our list of challenges for
future meetings.

You can find the current list by clicking on the "Next SMART Meeting" link
on our news home page.  There you'll find what the current challenge is, as
well as the short list to vote on for the following meeting.  The links to
the complete lists are posted there as well.

Here are the specific pages for these new mini-challenges.

Line Tracking with Line Breaks:
http://www.lugnet.com/org/us/smart/~48/ideas/challenge-036

Time-Accurate Line Tracking:
http://www.lugnet.com/org/us/smart/~48/ideas/challenge-037

Walking sumo:
http://www.lugnet.com/org/us/smart/~48/ideas/challenge-019
(this one is actually already one of the challenges we'll be voting on next
meeting for the following meeting.)

Token Finding:
http://www.lugnet.com/org/us/smart/~48/ideas/challenge-038

Another similar mini-challenge to token finding already on the list is
Search and Gather:
http://www.lugnet.com/org/us/smart/~48/ideas/challenge-021
(which is also one of the challenges we'll be voting on!)

Thanks for the new ideas!

If anyone else has other ideas they want to add, please let us know.  Post
the ideas here, like Nathan did, or bring them to the meeting.  We can also
discuss any of these challenges both here and at the meetings.
