We had a great meeting last Saturday, with lots of really good line-tracking
robots. The people there voted to do the line tracking competitively, so here
are the results:
For a straight line:
1st: Kyle (34.9 seconds)
2nd: Rose (36.5 seconds)
3rd: David (43.7 seconds)
4th: Norbu (44.7 seconds)
5th: JT/Ty (1 minute 19.8 seconds)
6th: Natalia (1 minute 25.6 seconds)
7th: Alex (2 minutes 11.6 seconds)
For the intersecting, curved track (with touches to fix counted as a penalty):
1st: Kyle (49.0 seconds + a penalty)
2nd: Alex (51.6 seconds)
3rd: David (1 minute 0.1 seconds)
4th: JT/Ty (1 minute 26.4 seconds )
5th: Andrew (1 minute 30.6 seconds + 2 penalties)
Anyway, great job, everyone!
This month (March), we're meeting on the 31st, back in our normal room,
Michelangelo, which is next door to the room we met in last meeting.
The mini-challenge we decided on was Easter Egg Hunt. Build a robot that can
find and dump the little foil-wrapped chocolate Easter eggs from Hershey. Here
are what they look like, with some bricks for size in the second & third
pictures:

The arena will be a white bottom, 4'x8' rectangle, with 2" high walls. Robots
should somehow pick up the eggs (taking care not to unwrap them), and drop them
over the wall, preferably in the corners.
Here's a picture of a previous time we did this:

See you in a couple of weeks!

BTW: the walls are a fraction over 2" high. See you in (...) (12 years ago, 27-Mar-12, to lugnet.org.us.smart)
