Mr Spidey?

I was hoping to use my expansive collection of plastic soda caps to make a robot that picks up caps, detects the color and “collects” one of each color. If it has the color it kicks the cap out. If it doesn’t have 1 of that color it keeps it in a hopper or bin of some sort.
What is the deadline of the contest anyway?

i was hoping to allocate different processes to different picaxes, and allowing them to communicate with I2C. The master board would have over all control and an xbee uplink to another picaxe kinda like walters controller. My whole aim is to get the robot to be aware of its surroundings on all sides at all times and react appropriately.

Are there any rules for the contest?
Is it allowed to make changes in the hardware of Mr. Basic?
My idea is, why not make a real 4WD robot with a motor for each wheel. The Pololu Micro Motors and wheels would be perfectly fit.
if I have 4 of those micro
if I have 4 of those micro motors I wouldn’t think twice

Mr PowerUp #1
People are wondering where to stick the 3xAA battery holder that came with the kit. It is a bit useless after installing some of the proposed power upgrades. Here’s my proposal.
Mr. Moody
I’m figuring something like
if (mood == GOOD) { followLine(); } else { killAllHumans(); }
Don’t know if that would do well as a robot kit though…
Tha caps! They are back!

Notice how the hight gives room to have the motor and batteries on the underside, which gives room for some low profile electronics on top, for a very aerodynamic style
