Thanks for the suggestion, I agree that solution would work. In fact we use something similar in our inverse kinematic solution. In the end after working with it some more I decided to find all the possible solutions that a single sensors distance/angle could return per quadrant (which look...

Hi guys, I'm doing my senior design project and we've decided upon a method for finding the location of our robot in the square arena that we have built. The method we are using involves sensors on all four sides of the robot (each at 90 degrees of the two adjacent) that return the distance to...

could someone spell it out for me?

That also occurred to me, but I am absolutely certain that my answer is right, therefore I felt it was unnecessary to say. Also, kaisxuans's got my back.

aha, but he heard it from a camp counselor, who either read it or heard it somewhere else. That means that either the counselor told him wrong. He forgot the exact wording, or he wrote it here wrong. Because my explanation HAS to be right, and you are correct that with that wording it...

I think the answer isn't physics based, but simply clever. The troll always sends people back to the side they were coming from. So what you do, is you walk all the way to the beast (50% of the way), then you turn around and walk back (maybe a little slowly), that way when he wakes up...
