This may be a use (finally) for the spybot controllers. at least for those
of us who try to stay purists. I can see that when it is in beacon mode that
the LED is flashing, but i'm not sure due to lack of equipment that the
different controllers give out different signals? a little help here?
Just a thought for the purists.

| A solution I suggested on the DPRG list was that if radio telemetry is being sent to and from the robot, then to have each robot with a clearly identifiable dot- rather like a police car - on the top. You could then have a camera covering the arena, (...) (20 years ago, 11-Apr-05, to lugnet.robotics)
