(...) Jerry, Thanks. I'm glad you liked the article. When I wrote it, I was hoping that other robotics enthusiasts would be able to adapt some of my techniques to their own dead-reckoning problems. It's good to see folks taking an interest in the (...) (23 years ago, 31-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

My daughter's science fair project last year used an RCX and 3 light sensors to time a LEGO sled sliding down a metal ramp with a LEGO light on the opposite side of the ramp from each light sensor, she had a primitive break-beam sensor. She used the (...) (23 years ago, 1-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
