Abstract
The system in this installation is comprised of two entities: The first, a computer and a video camera, captures all information referring to each of the motorised vehicles: identity, position, speed, motion vectors, collision routes and other pertinent calculations. This information is updated in real time and available on request for the elements that constitute the second entity, the motorised vehicles.
Based on the information received, these will be able to calculate and adjust their route, considering the position of each of the other elements. The set of instructions given to the vehicles obey to basic "Play Tag" rules, so one is chasing the others until it is successful and transfers its task to another vehicle.
