Re: Best way to detect a bot

Something tells me that the changing EM of the other robots will make that worthless. I don't know much about this, but if the changing EM from your own motors is enough to wash out the antenna, then you aren't going to be able to judge distance to other robots for the same reasons. The robot may be stopped, or the motors might be spinning at full power giving different EM readings regardless of where the other robot actually is.
