I Like your idea and mine was a lot like
http://news.lugnet.com/robotics/?n=11951. I thought of using the rcx as a
scout and finding the path. It would relay the data back to the pc and the
pc would create and download a program that would drive the rcx to end of
it's map. I was thinking of using a timer or getting the time and counting
the number of sec. between when the rcx hits an object. then i could have
the computer turn the rcx after x second before hitting the object. the only
problems with this method that i can see are that 1). you have to be with ir
range, 2).it doesn't allow for movment around new objects and mapping of
them (well this may not be true) and 3). It's downloads hardcoded programs.
What kind of info are you looking for about visual basics. I know there used
to be docs about the vb control at mindstorms.com but, not sure if they are
there anymore. I also have a control written by someone other than lego.
I'll have to dig it out and i'm not sure where i got it but, when i find it
again i'll let you guys know. I am willing to help you get started with the
control.

| My idea to solve the IR problem would be letting the rover move around for x time and then return to IR contact before going out again. We would have to think a little bit about new obstacles but I think that it can also be solved. Jonathan ----- (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)
