Re: Question about robot lighting

To Al Skierkiewicz:
You have the basic idea about where we will reflect the light. We were actually planning to reflect this light off of the diamond plating of the circular end of a "spider's leg". We were, naturally, going to make the light a different color so it wouldn't interfere with the other robot's camera (which would be illegal according to <R33>). We will most likely have the program change RGB value of what the camera is looking for after the robot finds it's location from the green lights (and back when it is done finding the "leg"). When the robot is in close vicinity to the "spider leg", the robot will turn the light on so the light will shine right onto the "leg" and very litte anywhere else.
To BillP:
Yes I know about rules <R33> and <R46>. I was excluding those two rules from my original post just to see if anyone else would spot them in the manual. That way you all would confirm that it wouldn't be a problem. Thank you for being observant!
