Crackass Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 So basically I am doing the sumobot challenge where you have to build a robot that has a max length and width of 20 cm each. The arena of the competition is a hexagon with white borders and has 6 poles. The rules and everything is online and is pretty self-explanatory and we are also allowed to have 1 extra sensor than what is in a standard nxt set which is 1 of every sensor in case you were wondering (so we could have 2 light sensors instead of 1). I was wondering how we would detect the poles and and avoid them without interfering with the actual pushing off other people (so not as simple as a touch sensor in the front since other bots would push that too. Someone told me there is multiple ways to do it. I don't really know any efficient ones. Any ideas? Sorry if I posted in the wrong area I am new. Quote
Hrafn Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 How big are the poles relative to the robots and the arena, and are they taller than the robots? Are there any height limits on the robots? Quote
