Kevin,
Thanks for the links. I actually looked at those documents yesterday directly on your webpage. My mind started racing with the possibilities. It looks like I have a new project that I will start working on once robotics season is over (does robotics ever and?). I am just hesitant to start a new project that will take my focus away from where it should be.
One of the simplest ideas I'd like to try is making a vex robot that follows around our big robot just for the fun of it, kind of like a little puppy dog.
Wherever the big robot goes, the little one follows, all by following the infrared beacons. I also considered using the IR beacon as a way to communicate PWM values to drive the slave (Vex) robot as well. Again my mind is racing with the possibilities.
Thanks again for all the work you have done so far and am looking forward to see what you have next.
