Just spent the last 24 hours stressing over this little John Deer rendetion of the Gemdigger. This assigment was Lego heaven...can't wait to have kids so I can buy them these cool toys. The objective was to collect as many gems within a square perimeter delimited with white tape only. You cross the tape you're out. The area is festooned with cement obstacles that you're little robot has to avoid. And of course the key is that it has to be autonomous. Design of the beast was a hair pulling affair with so many ideas in all directions we ended up only having one test run before the competition. Our little guy didn't do so bad, although it wanted to pick up one of the cement barriers...hmm have to work on that one.
