| Up for discussion. So, while discussing "the next big project," my ten year old and I tried to come up with a complete list of all the possible "signals" available at any one time that could be incorporated into a robot, whether practical, or (...) (22 years ago, 3-Apr-03, to lugnet.robotics)

| Well, I'm guessing your ideas run the gamut of all the standard RF human-generated signals. It might be fun to track satellites, even if you can't decode their signals, I think most are just UHF. Besides standard radio transmissions, there is ULF, (...) (22 years ago, 4-Apr-03, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) hmmmm... these jump to mind: Human "sensors": a) global/positional(2D) Light Level (also 3D because we move our head/eyes taking notice of the sampling vector) b) global/positional(stereo) Sound Frequency/Level (might also be considered 3D (...) (22 years ago, 4-Apr-03, to lugnet.robotics)

I agree to the extent that it depends on the number of RCX bricks present because they only have three sensor (...) (22 years ago, 14-Apr-03, to lugnet.robotics)
