With new software the bot autonomously moves red blocks to the home goal and blue blocks to the opponents goal while avoiding walls. Click here to visit Dale's build log for this bot.
At the March 2007 meeting we had 3 contestants enter the Cube Quest beacon race challenge. The goal was to make 5 round trips between the beacons in the least time. Ringo's bot did it in 53 seconds, Dale's bot clocked 28 seconds and Nathaniels bot had incomplete software and only managed to make a single trip in 30 seconds.
