Good point - there were only 2 motors. It would be better if it were multiple cans
as well. The scoring system on that Dallas contest web page

It is an interesting problem to drive the bot and pick up the can with only 2
motors... Tough...
Cheers,
David

To build a bot to meets that challenge is already difficult enough, don't make it even more difficult or very few people will ever make it to (...) (25 years ago, 23-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics)
