| | | I'm wondering if anyone out there has ever tried to use a robot to count studs EG on a baseplate in order to make precise, stud-sized movements, for example, when making a pattern out of bricks or plates. If so, how did you do it, and can it be made (...) (19 years ago, 11-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics)
