| | | Hi Steve, Is it possible to take a look to the program itself ? What about using standard lego IR sensors instead ? (I think therefore it will be more difficult, but I'm currently trying...) Thanks, - Christophe - (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)

There's some difficulties with hooking 4 analog sensors up to a single RCX. ;-) Even if there weren't however, that wouldn't change the fact that the range sensors (light or otherwise) cannot tell the difference between the ground being tilted (...)

Then, the rate of change will increase, so it will compensate by moving the other direction (return to (...) (22 years ago, 17-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)
