    i thing that this proves that a big plow in the front may be a good idea
  •  
    Jarid had posted a link as well with the plow as a v shape. this would work if your going for pushing someone off the table

    Wedge by Chelsea A wedge is a simple machine shaped like an inclined plane. A wedge is actually like a moving inclined plane. An easy way to see how a wedge works is to think of it as an inclined plane standing on its narrow end.

How Can I Make a Sumo-bot? - 3 views

  • No sumo-bot is perfect; this means that sumo-bots that I make and that you     make will have "problems" or "weak-spots."

Maze solving algorithm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 1 views

  • mazes, is also known as either the left-hand rule or the right-hand rule. If the maze is simply connected, that is, all its walls are connected together or to the maze's outer boundary, then by keeping one hand in contact with one wall of the maze the player is guaranteed not to get lost and will reach a different exit if there is one; otherwise, he or she will return to the entrance.

    has good techniques

    this would work really well but it might take more than 60 sec

    I know it doesn't say much but this single-motored nxt can rotate it's ultrasonic sensor allowing it to see multiple walls at once

Robots, mazes, and subsumption architecture - 3 views

  • Wall-following is a simple maze algorithm you might have learned as a child. All you do to solve a maze using this algorithm is keep your left hand on the left wall (or your right hand on the right wall) and just follow it along until you exit the maze. It's easy to see that this algorithm always works if the maze you're in has an entrance and an exit on its border. However, if the goal is within an island — a part of the maze that's disconnected from the rest of the maze — this algorithm can't find a solution because it can't "hop" over to the island.
  • has only its exterior walls and "growing" walls inward

      also shows how to program in a different version though
  • Adding a vertical ultrasonic sensor to ClareBot allows the robot to go around an arena without touching the walls

    shows how to build a simple wall following robot
  •  
    Although this is an older version, the placement of the Ultra sonic sensor is a good thought
