Re: Highest Score?

Those kids from the Flying Geeks need an FRC team. Seriously. That is one of the most inspiring things I have ever seen. I'd be seriously interested in seeing how they managed to track so well, as well as using light sensor moving as well as good ol' cartesian coordinates (Bump into one wall and move out so many rotations, you've got your x, turn 90 degrees and back into that wall, move forward so many rotations and you know y.)

Those kids deserve FRC and Vex. Wow. It took us all season to be able to do everything reliably in 5 programs. They did it in 1. Nice to see they used Mindstorms as well, it's my kit of choice (until I get enough monies to buy a Vex one)
