I have revised the design for my soda can collector and updated my page at
http://www.spacehippie.com/rich/cc_entry.html - The robot now collects all
three cans before returning to home, improving the time on my test course from
5 minutes to a bit over 2 minutes.  I have also posted the NQC source code
(can't wait for version 2.0 of NQC!) with minimal commenting.

I forgot to thank Joel for the great challenge -
http://www.connect.net/joel/Challenge.html - Much more challenging than any of
the ones that come with the MindStorms kit.

For my next project I was thinking about a robot that sorts a shuffled deck of
cards into the four suits.  Has anyone tried anything with playing cards?  Are
lego and Playing cards compatible?  I guess I will need a bunch of those
smooth caps to cover the studs....

Nice! I had no idea anyone was having so much success, let alone optimising so as to pick up all the cans in one trip. Good stuff! :) - Ben. (...) -- Did you check the web site first?: (URL) (25 years ago, 14-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)
