Crate Passing Robots

Build two robots that look for each other, and pass a crate from one to the next. While the most obvious way to do this is with two RCXs, it can also be done with one by having a stationary “robot” as your second one. I suggest starting to work on this challenge by figuring out how the two robots can find each other. Once you’ve got that figured out, then work out how to get them to ‘face’ each other, and then pass a crate back and forth.

You are welcome to determine how far apart your own two robots should be to start with, but if you’re looking for some guidance, I’d suggest having them about 10 to 12 feet apart, and oriented randomly to each other (that is, don’t assume they’re facing each other when you put them down). As with all mini-challenges, feel free to bring whatever you can get working. And even if you can’t get anything working, you can still bring whatever you have, to get ideas and help from others that show up.
