Well, since nobody has objected, let me just say up front... PLEASE keep it
on-line. I agree with Steve, this is fun (and that's just as a spectator). With
regards to Steves question about "decoupling" the left and right sides, Kevin,
could you use an RCX as a higher level of control? Subsumption design, with one
layer being pneumatic, and a supervisory level (that could de-couple and
re-couple the pneumatic circuits on either side, for instance... have to sense
what state those circuits are in) that is electronic in the RCX / sensor net? I
would think mechanical switches either on critical legs, or, (perhaps better
from the standpoint of locating the sensor packages), pressure sensors on
critical hoses, could give the RCX feedback. Use the RCX IR/proximity detection,
and it's a cyclops SSCorpian with very simple vision (detect moving objects for
attack? hehehe...).
