robo-Magellan
bragging time.
the SRS robo-Magellan this year was won by MRToo,·a robot Daryl Sandberg and I collaborated on. He did the building, I did the Navigation.
The main program was written on an ordinary BS2 camped on a Lynxmotion
Nextstep board. Several other proccessors took some of the load off the Stamp doing sensor and motor driving chores, but the main work was on·the Stamp. No one realized the ultimate goal this year, but several folks·are comming close to a solution,·and it came to a judges decision.
We navigated with GPS and Compass and planned to use a CMU Cam to find cones. but the effects of last minute code writing and no sleep foiled that plan·The Stamp made prototyping turnarounfd very quick and easy.
I confess to stealing large blocks of· GPS code from Jon Williams N&V articles Thanks Jon, but we're not cutting up the plaque.
