(...) Ha! Methinks you underestimate the talents (not to mention obsession) of the other folks in this event <grin>. Seriously, thanks for the kind words, and I'm very happy with it, but now the rest of you know yet another way to try to do it. Go (...)

(...) well, in all honesty I shamelessly implemented a solution I had already known about: PackBot by iRobot. I won't remotely claim the idea originated with me, as it didn't. I was inspired by the "real world" here. That said, I'd not run across (...) (18 years ago, 29-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

Brian, your rock crawler is quite interesting to me because you've rediscovered the design of a real-world reconnaissance robot: (URL) designer is related to my boss in some manner that I can't recall, but he was up at our office last summer showing (...)

(...) Oh - really??? ;o) (...) That's something I considered, but not tried. One problem I foresee is that the fov of the US-sensor itself is relatively wide, so I don't know if this could provide much more obstacle direction information. (...) Not (...)

I just ran across these on LEGO's NXTlog: A little Spy rover and a joystick-based remote control: (URL) - nice job Philo! I like the ball caster (OK, I'll admit bias), but I really like using a mechanical linkage to pan the US sensor to widen the (...) (18 years ago, 29-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics)
