Hi all, I am trying to get some middle school kids playing a bit with the robosoccer idea. I don't want to frustrate them with the fluctuating IR ball. So, I am planning to find a constant "lighted" ball for them instead, but no luck. Wonder if (...) (18 years ago, 28-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.edu)
