basically as far as communication goes i was thinking of sumthing like a wireless bus with unique IDs, or sumthing along those lines.

I dont wanna have wires inbetween. and painting one wouldn't work because then if you have 3 the 2 that arent painted green will follow the one painted green.

I do not wanna depend on sumthing that isnt absolute like color so to speak. i wanna make it a total programming/ electrical solution. Maybe something like each robot have a IR signal unique to its ID. But then the problem is that that limits you to line of sightas far as follow or IR communication goes. It needs to be like small scale GPS I think. maybe some kind of coordinate system. like if robot A is at 2,4 but robot b is at -2,-4 and there is a wall between them. it wouldn't beable to use IR because of the line of sight problem.

I know this is difficult but any ideas?

O yea I am not using a OI or Rc hence why I said I am Using a basic stamp
