Hi Jim,
Thanks for the tip.
I tried RobotC before for my thesis which Automated Forklift System about 8 years ago. Recently my fiance' bought me an EV3 last Christmas because she knows i love robotics and recently i purchase NXT on a bargain price with all the components with to my surprise, a rechargeable battery. Now why do i need C#, well i am very comfortable with it and its easier to design an interface on it compare to Java.
I have this concept of a scaled down version of what the guys at RoboRace is doing. Using the sensors that the EV3 and the NXT has, i think it is possible to have like EV3 or NXT RoboRace. I mean, we can program it, we use technic parts to look like a real race car then we race. Like we create a race track (map) to which we can download and based on the information on the map, we can program the cars to navigate with it, check for other cars also and try to overtake it plus manage battery. Its like Formula E but its automated.
Currently, i am having a hard time using MindSqualls C# api of the NXT on the steering since i can control precise rotation angle to which the motor will not overturn which will be bad on the steering setup that i have since i dont have enough parts yet since as well as spare cash to buy parts. (If you guys knows where to buy cheap technic parts like wheels, steering hub, spring dampers, and etc.). I hope with this idea, i can convince other EV3 and NXT fans as well as technic fans to make it a reality.
I will post my progress here as soon as i have the parts as well as on youtube.
