Smile Re: Using sensors

Since 2008 OverDrive Challenge seemed to emphasize automous or semi-automous behavior....

What about using the Limit switches to detect collision with a wall and a sub program to tell the robot to turn and back up a bit, then try to move forward again?? Could help your robot autonmously move around the Track? couldn't it?

thinking about 2 limit switches 1 left and 1 right.

IF left switch is triggered, then backup and turn right 10 degrees, then continue forward.
IF right switch is triggered, then backup and turn left 10 degrees, then continue forward.

If your Robot gets in a real jam, send it a specific command via the IR remote to turn, backup, or return to full-autonmous mode.

Our Team hasn't worked on this YET, but I'm gonna pitch it to our Control and Programmer at our next meeting.
