    That last bot looked like my brother. he always grabs whats being moved at the last minute and makes it look like hes actually doing something.

    very cool area we are getting into and a time to be attentive and wary of all the uses of this kind of technology.

    yeah they need time to calculate their actions precisely instead of rushing fastly and moving to the wrong place. kinda like one of those electronic chessboards, when you put it on hardest dificulty, the computer takes about 30 seconds each turns, but it predicts chundreds of moves you could potentialy use.

    sorry i got out of line. but still. i dont think its a problem of prosessor speed. i think the speed is fine. its all in making codes that will better interprete the visuals it gets. and physical speed wouldnt help either because of innacuracy. i think there is substantial improvement to be done with the code but microcontrollers are pretty fast for stuff like this so i dont think that is a problem.

    again sorry i normally dont goto name calling im just pissed at something elce is all.

    dude your a retard. they dont know where each other are. thats what makes them remarkable. they use visual cues to figure out where they are. they use counters to figure out how mny people are on each color butthats it. that is how they find the spot, they see the color and go towards it. they are ALWAYS randomly placed on the stage and so they cannot know where the others are.
