Subject: [alt-beam] Re: FYI: ANN: fire-fighting robot contest at Penn State (3-25)
I'm only an hour or so away from that competition. I'm seriously thinking of
creating a BEAM and CPU TEAM of robots to conquer the course. I read in the
info page that a team of robots is allowed this year. So I was thinking,
why not use 4 smaller bots to jet off really fast to the 4 rooms in the
course. The only function they would have is to find the candle, emit an RF
beacon, that triggers the bigger CPU bot to respond and put out the fire.
