The amazing Antbot

<< < (10/17) > >>

bacillus:
Now that's cool.

fulizer:
I was making a antbot (not very far) and planned to have a puller bot.
what makes them different is that mine are simpler thanother antbots iv'e seen. mainly, rather than getting its loation from the quenn at birth it gets it from its own position and it doesn't (so far) store food lo0cations in it, the queen doesn't feed itself before getting it's first worker, and the worker goes within about 10 cycles

bacillus:
The problem is that when multiple bots are in the colony, they tend to push the queen away from her original position. This means that the queen might end up far away from where the workers think.

Endy:
Why not just fix the queens position at her birth. Then just unfix all the non-queens.

bacillus:
Ah, there's the big problem. It's something to do with the collision pyhsics, I think, that even fixed bots can be bumped out of place. Can anyone confirm?
