Inspiration/innovation in weaponry

Well AFAIK the pit is always in the same position, as are the walls. Starting positions are also fixed. So once you know where the wall is and roughly where your starting square is then you are pretty much set. House robots will tend to be in areas that are also generally known so they can be downgraded areas to enter. In terms of tracking other robots, if they are not emitting ultrasonic (which i'm working out how to listen instead of ping in between scans) and are within 2m then advance,otherwise just scoot about. Lidar modules seem a bit too expensive, although there is a cheap laser/webcam parallax unit. However the sonar units are only £1 each, so cost trade off is a big benefit
