Subject: [alt-beam] co-op Bots
hello there.. i read somewhere before that it is possible to get 2 bots to
join together via a strong magnet and get this new joined bot to perform
stuff as a single unit. now how is that done? i was thinking that maybe the
front bot would have a small device that would short the sensor inputs of
boths together when "merged" this way, both sensor inputs will be the same
and perhaps, thwy would work together as a single unit? any comments on
this method? or are there any other methods that are more efficient?
secondly, why isnt there any tracked Bots around? and how do u make a
tracked photovore anyway? is there any special steps to take note so that
teh bot will still turn and avoid obstacles?
