First's reply to the "white line"

Hi Jim, here's their reply: Re: White Lines on Playing Field Posted: Jan 30, 2003 6:03 PM

The white lines on the carpet lead to an aluminum channel section that supports the wire mesh. This aluminum channel section will be unpainted and should provide the reflectivity needed to activate light sensors that wish to track it up the ramp.

The reason you see a white line on our ramp is that we're simulating the aluminum channel by having the white tape serve as a reflector for us. Btw, we do have multiple autonomous modes working perfectly.

Hope this clears up your confusion.
