OK guys! I've got an idea for a project. I'm going to tear apart my old Big Trak (remember that old toy) and turn it into a rover vehicle that will search out and find a particular object, find being that it will park next to it and then terminate all activity until told otherwise. Does anyone know offhand where one could find the internal specs of a Big Trak? How about the sensors? I figure I could use bumping sensors to tell it where obstacles are. But what's the best type of sensoring method to use that will tell an onboard computer when it finds the object it's looking for? I haven't decided on an object yet, so that's still up in the air. If these questions are answered in the faq I apologize, I haven't had time to go thru it yet. Thanks! -BOB
