sevisehda gets a gold start for spelling sensored wrong...we assume this means u thought there were sensors behind here...

but fox 46 gets a scratch and sniff sticker for being the first to get it.

and kyle gets a silver star for effort!


woooohooo

and oneangrydwarf gets a shiny blue star for spelling both censored and star wrong.

if you read earlier in the thread...sensored was spelled wrong...
and seeing as we were censoring sensors we thought this was funny...thus i spelled it wrong again.

wait so have i

AHHHH ROBOTS!:]

I'm afraid that my "sensored" pun was just a Freudian typo. So anywho, how well do they work?

well the sensors assemblies themselves work flawlessly at detecting boxes. At our community night (sunday before ship date) we had some code in the bot to make it drive towards a box, but our programmer commented it out and has been working diligently to get all of our other navigational sensors working before we do box finding, we know it works but we haven't implemented it into the supar master amazing navigational system our programmer came up with (uses 2 rotary encoders, timing, gyro chip, and alot of math and luck!).

If we get everything working like we plan on having it working for the championship event then we will post a whitepaper post season explaining how we did everything.

Its so vicious... I don't want to mess with that...

hehehe

Awww rowdy is a sweety, and our arms can give hugs!
