Lego Robo-Rats
In the Fall
1998 robotics course, most students built lego ``robo-rats,''
which were designed for a competition in which the rats tried to find
lego ``food'' and return it to a home location.
This records the strategies used in the course for the inspiration
of future participants, and to record some Handyboard tips.

This page describes how some rules fared in the 1998 competition, and
what we might do to fix them next year.
