Competition brought evolution ahead. So, why
shouldn't robots compete also? A kind of district fight
ought to
be a nice background for Terences planned skills.
The idea came
into existence, that two robots try to hit the antenna of the other
with a cantilever.
That one, having placed the most hits, is the
winner.
Biggest problem at this was: How do they find each other?
I built an IR-detector, that could distinguish
between its own
reflections and a foreign IR source. So it can act as obstacle
detector and
challenger detector at the same time.
Terences
design was good for development, because every module is reachable
immediately. But the foursquare
shape with overhanging bumpers is
a problem, when the robot moves through its territory.
It
remained hanging at obstacles.
