| The Scientific American Frontiers PBS program aired Games Machines Play (MIT Robot competition, Robocup, etc.) last year. I made a copy of it then and just clobbered it the other night. Does anyone have a copy they could send me? I'd be happy to pay (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics)

Reading the babelfish translation (babelfish.altavista.com), I note that he used a non-Lego part to increase the amount of light reflected to the sensor. 2. He used a freely pivoting weight, (...)
