Subject: [alt-beam] Re: BEAM forcefield....
I saw your page on parasect. Cool! What about putting IR leds on the
host bots too, so the parasect will be attracted to them and more ept to
finding them. Great idea! (The force field). You could put it around on
the edges of a table so they don'tgo off it.
What about putting a hall sensor on every bot, and magnets in the "off
limits" areas, so bots would be disabled when they went somewhere they
shouldn't - kinda like they're on a time-out ;)
