<div dir="ltr">Thanks, Ron!<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Shipping is not a problem to Costa Rica, but customs and import tax is. Whenever I fly back to the USA I travel with 2 empty suitcases and fill them up with coffee makers, curling irons and electronics. Costa Rica doesn't have any industry to protect, but uses import taxes as a way to fatten the wallets of politicians. Folks down here would pay about double for a new car as what someone would pay in Dallas... and some things have much worse worse rates.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I noticed the triple 270º curves on the Roborama 2015a video. Is there not normally a start/stop T for the line-following? The rules mention 2 laps, but what determines the start/end of a lap?</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">So is it really true that nobody has built a Robot specifically to conquer the Challenge Line-following course in 7 years?!? I know its harder than it looks, yada-yada-yada... but really, in this day and age? jajaja... ;-)</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I'd love to see what you are doing in "Processing".

<div><font size="2">They include FedEx ground shipping in US. Not sure if they have any provision for international shipping...</font></div>
<div><font size="2">I think their minimum is about 2'x2' and they size in 1 foot increments.<br>
</font></div>
<div><font size="2">Banners are certainly nice for weight and ease of transport / setup, but of course more fixed in configuration.</font></div>
<div><font size="2">The cool thing about a course one you get into larger size is you can hit most of the relevant combinations of tiles;</font></div>

<div><font size="2">One pattern that Will Kuhnle likes to see 3 consecutive 90 degree arcs creating 270 turn, good to prove up if a robot is tracking the line well...<br>
