h'lo all.
I haven't been around for a while cause I've been busy working a technology camp for the summer. Anyhow, the long and short of it is that I'm entering a robotics competition with another guy I met. For those familiar with the Lego Mindstorms system, we will be using at least two (maybe three) RCXs programmed in NQC and passing IR tokens.
The game rules can be found here
The other fellow is a much more experienced builder than me, so he's making the base and sorting mechanism, while I'm making the claw and rake. It takes an incredible amount of torque to pull a 60cm Lego arm through rice...

Quote:The goal of rtlToronto14 is to get to a box filled with uncooked rice and search through the material to find and extract black 2x4 Lego blocks while sorting out white 2x4 blocks. Blocks are to be removed from the box with a minimum of disturbance to the rice and moved onto the player's half of the playfield.
