[Robotgroup] Triangulation

[Nick Pietraniec]

This is really interesting..  I'm curious what project your working  
on.  I had grand ambitions when the doom/quake engines were released  
to integrate in something like this to create a sort of real world/ 
first person shooter hybrid.  Laser tag and paintball are clearly  
lacking in delicate and difficult to implement technology.  Alas,  
nothing ever came of it but the dream remains.
