Go and Come Back

May 11, 2005
The solution to the challenge of Go and Come Back depended on how it was worded
and the floor or table top color
and who was doing the challenge.


The goal is to have a bot go until the dark paper and return to the same place it started.


The challenge is to go an unknown distance and return to the start.
Go until touch from any distance and back up to the starting position.
or go until dark spot then return to starting position.

Programming to go to dark, return to lighter and stop at dark worked
with two pieces of black paper no matter how far they were apart.

The goal is to have a bot go until the dark paper and return to the same place it started
 no matter how close or far it is from the dark paper.
We are trying out containers. Rotation sensor works.

Integer division is causing some round off precision problem but it is not too bad.

Using Wait for Hundredths of seconds allowed container multiplication.

Looking at the ideas and programs over the last couple of days is an interesting study.
