Can anyone please explain how to use the "follow waypoint" behaviour option in the sackbot menu? Specifically, I want to make a sackbot move from one location to another and to another and so on in a specific order without having to keep placing tags of different colours and program sackbot "brains" with different instructions. I can set a sackbot to move to a tag but not to keep moving to the next tag and the next tag and so on. Am I misunderstanding the point of "follow waypoint?" Many thanks!

This is because the Sackbot will only go to the nearest Tag of the type it's set to follow. Therefore you need to have only one Tag active at a time. This is easily done with a Selector Put a Selector in the Circuit-board of the Sackbot. Make the Selector have as many ports as you have waykpoints (Tags) on the path of the Sackbot. Wire every port on the Selector to the waypoint Tags, with the first port going to the first Tag, and the 2nd port going to the 2nd Tag, and so on... Now put a Tag Sensor (set to sense the same type of Tags as the waypoints) on the Circuit-board of the Sackbot, and wire is into the Increment port at the bottom of the Selector. Depending on the path you want the Sackbot to follow, you may also wish to insert a 1~3 second Timer set to Count Down between the Tag Sensor and the Selector, but this is just an optional fail-safe. With this type of Circuit, the Sackbot will cycle the active waypoint forward one step each time it reaches the currently active waypoint.

Hey thanks, that makes a lot of sense and seems so simple when you say it like that! I'll give it a go. Thanks again, Slaeden-Bob
