Stage Three is full autonomous control with line following capability,
IR sensor in front for collision avoidance, and smart programming so
it can find its way back to the race track after loosing its way on
tight turns.

Stage Four is really intelligent programming that learns the track,
knows to gear down and slow at tight corners.

Stage Five is racing other powered RCX controlled 8448 cars on a big
track.  The track will be a black electrical tape route on concrete
for multiple cars.

This could almost be a challange. How about marking up a circuit by
marking the curbs with black tape. Then let the car race around trying
to map the circuit and find the way through. After a coupple of laps it
could finish "learning mode" and try to make better and better lap
times. This should be possible using LegOS, but NQC is probably not
efficient enough.

(...) I'm thinking a stock-only (or nearly stock- rotation and extra light-sensors are legit) version, so IR is out. What do you have in mind for smart programming? A simple back and forth algorithm, or something that has an idea of where it is in (...) (25 years ago, 30-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Anyone ever think about putting the RCX brain into a radio controlled car. Have the RCX control the speed control and servos instead of using the radio. It would be cool to try out a REALLY fast robot. If you could control the car once using the (...) (25 years ago, 30-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)
