I don't have 2 RCXs, but I have built several robots that can find lights
in well lit rooms.  They seek the brightest objects in the room.  As long
as there isn't a really strong light source down at that level (like a
brightly lit window or doorway that extends to floor level) it works very
well.

Nah, it's easy.  One of the expansion packs does it.  Just put a light on
the prey, then have the predator seek the light.  The creature pack (I
forget its name) comes with a stalk of fiber optic strands to put on the
prey.

So then the whole thing has to take place in a dark room? That's less than
the ideal solution, in my mind.

Has anyone done this? How well did it work?

(...) My fear is you'll run into a few other issues with a hunter/hunted setup -- you'll have to have something fairly bright, and it'll have to be non-directional. Do any of the Official Lego lights fit the bill? (26 years ago, 2-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)
