hi
maybe it was talked here but maybe not
what do you think about making modular bot

one module has one rcx
one module can bend itself in the middle (in one plane)

rcx ins are:
1. light sensor
2. angle sensor
3. touch sensor

outs are:
1. main motor (for bending)
2. micromotor (for lock latch)
3. light

so one modular bot is created as directional it means it has "head" and
"tail"
at the head there is light sensor which seeks (bending modul body) for light
generated by tail of other module
when modules find themselves they connect its bodies (touch sensor) and lock
(micromotor)
now they are "as one"
connected modules talk to itself via light and light sensor between them
thay can seek another module

when more modules are joined they can create a loop and work as caterpillar
so it can walk (ride) climb steps or bypass obsacles (by climbing)
or walk as worm

regards
