We are planning on solving a physical maze (ie cardboard or plywood.) The plan is to use LegOS to allow C (NQC) capabilities. We haven't started on the physical part yet; instead we are concentrating on developing a working algorithm for solving (...) (27 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

The first is a rotary electrical coupling, which allows you to pass 4 wires through a rotary joint. I built the prototype tonight, and I think it (...)
