Thank you Steve, Brian, and Bryan for the clarification on the track size.
One more question:
Would it be possible for whoever currently has the track to post some
approximate NXT light sensor readings for the various positions across the width
of the track?. I know that I need to calibrate for my own sensors and for the
lighting conditions at the event, but what I'm interested in is knowing how
linear the light sensor reading is compared to the position on the track.
Data preference: NXT Raw sensor readings with sensor 1 LEGO unit from the
surface at approximate track positions 0", 6", 12", 18", and 24" (but adjusted
for actual track width)
Thanks in advance. If the track is already packed (or even on its way) and that
this is too much trouble, then fine, no problem, I will deal with it in Chicago.
See you guys soon.
Gus
