Rocks Outside the Box

April 21, 2010
Bots in the box

Here is an idea to bring back rocks that does NOT need a third motor.
The arm is just balanced upright as the bot moves forward but drops when the bot stops
because it continues forward by inertia.

The program is simply move forward and then back.

Works!

Now get the timing right.


And get the starting angle right.

The challenge is to get all four rocks in the shortest time.

All 4 groups get a turn.

One minute is the record.

Back in the box.
