Why does the arena have only 90 degree angles?
We agree that having only 90 degree angles in the arena is very artificial and simplistic, but it is also a good representation of the real world where our buildings are mostly 90 degrees and very artificial. Also remember that we believe that the first actual use of these sorts of Robots will be in a warehouse situation which are very “90 degree-ish”. Besides, it is hard enough to get these devices to work in this “easy”, “simplistic” and “artificial” environment, putting in 56 degree turn would be even harder. When we reach the day when most of the Robots have no trouble with a 90 degree turn, then we will consider using other turns.
