There is still some problems with the program ...

So you used the flood-fill or bellman algorithm described here:

(Jona showed that URL in his posting at 2003 may 12).

A synchro drive robot allways points in the same direction, so he could be
controlled via PC by IR tower.

I see problems arising from the fact, the robot dont "run on rails". The
question is, how the robot centers in the cell. As i understand Scotts design,
you use rotation sensors (one or two?) to measure the way to the next cell. Or
is this wrong, how does the robot know that he has reached the next cell? Will
the robot use its distance sensor to center in the cell? If the robot does not
center in the cell, positioning errors will add and the robot will touch the
walls or will stop in between cells, where he cannot determine the walls around
the cell.

Is this one of the problems? Can you tell us something about this stuff?
