multibot?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Light:
You can use *.fixang and *.fixlen to permanantly fix the angle and length of a tie, then you need a series of genes to instruct the bot on how to form a multibot, this can be quite complicated depending on the number of bots involved and the shape. Do you have a specific shape in mind and how many bots?

MrMound:
I was thinking maybe a simple shape for starters. a square 4 bots :)

Light:
:blink: okay that is about as complex as multibots have gotten so far, you sure know how to throw yourself in at the deep end. You could try taking a look at Helios it has that sort of shape. You also need to develop a way so that each cell in the multibot knows which one it is, that way you can then specify particular genes to each cell, such as turning by a set amount and firing ties etc.

MrMound:
would a line 2 bots be a lot easier :blink:

Light:
yes, generally the less bots the easier it is, less bots to co-ordinate and stuff, I just wouldn't recomend it as a first attempt at a multibot, but if you really want to try 4 bots, I will try and help you as much as possible
