but this kind of stuff,, somthing that stores energy and then provide it to a system is not very much robotics
Ok so I had this really funny thought about this project/contest. I was thinking what good is a filling station if you have to give everything out for free. So the "cost" of filling at the station would be the robots current maps and sensor data. Then the filling station could compile accurate maps of the areas around it by averaging all the inputed data and then sharing that with the robots that fill there could be a neat way to simulate an entirely robotic community. Hmm we should do this at Gas stations with everyones GPS units so we can better map the roads.[/quotelolyou've never heard of hackers before, have you? jk
maybe we can use on of thosehttp://www.globalsources.com/gsol/I/Supercapacitor/p/sm/1003177966.htmmaaan thats a 4.7 FARAD capacitance,,can you believe it !!!!!!
