[Dprglist] Saturday

[David P. Anderson]

I'll second Harold's comment: Saturday was a lot of fun.  Great to see 
everyone.

Carl can you post the results for the spinning robot demo?  I think rcat 
did pretty well on the second run and also the triangle.

I was having some trouble with my rate gyro, which is pretty temperature 
sensitive, in that hot room.  Later I realized I had not disabled the 
virtual bumper and that was causing some problems.  Trouble shooting at 
a contest is always fraught.

Also lots of comments about the non-flatness of the floor.  At first I 
blew it off, thinking maybe it just wasn't level.  But then Michael's 
robot had a laser pointing forward/down at the floor and the spot kept 
getting closer to and further from the front of the robot as it moved.  
When I queried why it was doing that, someone pointed out that it was 
the floor!   It really is massively uneven and lumpy.

Maybe we need to find a different room to run our contests?   We could 
use Michael's robot for testing...

cheers!
