I was wondering whether something like this is possible: A block of ice(say) needs to be transferred piece by piece from a source to a destination with the help of 5 robots standing in a straight line between the source and destination. The first robot picks up a piece of the block from the source and checks if the next robot in line is busy. If yes, it waits for it to complete its task and proceeds, otherwise it transfers the piece and goes back to collect another piece. Please help me on implementing this if it is possible, as I am thinking to make it a project topic.
to clear out the confusions, here's a smaller prototype of the project i'm thinking,
i have two cars, one wired, another wireless. the wired car is the master here, the wireless, the slave. through a remote, i send a command to the wired car to instead command the wireless car to move forward. the wired car will then check if the wireless slave is already executing some previously given command or no, and accordingly send the command.
conversely, the master may send the command as soon as it receives it, it's on the slave now to complete the task it's doing, and then execute the command it just received.
