No, your sonar jammer wasn't causing any problems with us. We're using IRPD sensors and I fear that the sensors were calibrated for too great a distance and were seeing the barriers. I never knew that the BS2SX was that powerful, either. I thought I saw one of your motors blow up, too...
Ah well. As for the barriers, just move the crowd farther away/in the bleachers. I heard lots of complaints relating to spectators in the stands not being to see anything, due to both students and barriers alike. The ring needs to be more durable, too. Our robots started seeing the footprints from the dirty shoes.
An autonomous journey bot isn't too hard, either. Keep the logic simple. I figured out how to turn our program into full hard-wired logic with only a few gates and some clever thinking. Good luck!
Oh, and after seeing (what I thought at the time was your sonar sensor) I mentioned an idea for a sonar jammer :lol: . Thought it was pretty funny when I found out they were jammers

Description of "Performance Anexiety":
1) running away from sensed objects (not joking)
2) random turns
3)jitters
4)perpetual right turn, acting like a wounded animal
cant think of any others...it was pretty bad. Our gym has a ring that's about the same size and color, just a little ligher with more differences/white paint spots, but both our middleweight and heavyweight did well. Ah well. Maybe our new fuses will be in tomorrow so we can re-run the bots and see what caused the problems...
