<h1>1.4 What's next?</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Overview</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
So, you had your first taste of robot development, and I hope you are keen to improve it.
|
|
There are also some features of TORCS, which I would like to introduce now. As you will see in the
|
|
next chapter, your robot module is able to handle up to 10 robots. That's like e. g. the "Damned"
|
|
robots are implemented.<br/>
|
|
I already mentioned that your robot is able to pit. You can then tell the simulation how much fuel
|
|
you need and how much damage you want to repair. We will deal with pit stops in a later chapter,
|
|
because it's not that easy to stop in the pit.<br/>
|
|
Keep in mind, this is just a tutorial, so the solutions presented here are not perfect. But it
|
|
should be a good starting point for you. The coming chapters deal with the following topics:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul style="list-style-type:disk; color:black;">
|
|
<li>Chapter 2 will discuss how to get unstuck and how to deal with more than one car.</li>
|
|
<li>In chapter 3 we will start braking and gear changing.</li>
|
|
<li>In chapter 4 we try to steer better.</li>
|
|
<li>We also need a way to setup the cars, e. g. spoilers, dampers and more. That's chapter 5.</li>
|
|
<li>Paint your car and a pit logo in chapter 6.</li>
|
|
<li>We overtake and try to avoid collisions in chapter 7.</li>
|
|
<li>And finally in chapter 8 we will do pit stops.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
