Subject: [alt-beam] On making a better RJP...
As most of you probably know by now, I've got a webcam running on BEAMLAND.
Right now there is a symet and a 'beamant' style photovore playing around in
a very small, very temporary RJP. You may notice while watching it that the
photovore does not really circle the brightest point of light. The
photovore seems to be attracted to the walls somewhat. I think that this is
due to the semigloss paint on the metal case I'm using for the RJP. This
sux. Anyway, I want to build a bigger playground so you guys can watch how
a whole bunch of bots interact.
To this end, I'd like to find out who has built a successful RJP - What
materials are best used, what colours, type of lighting, size, type of
obstacles etc...
Let the debate begin....
