Beacon systems

Beacon systems can be used to find:

  • the position of our robot on the table,
  • the position of the opponent robot on the table,
  • and/or the position of the opponent robot relative to our robot.

This is needed to make a good avoidance system or to fine tune our strategy.

Here you will found pages about math behind several beacon systems or about technical solutions.
