(...) My trip to Russia fell through and so did my bid for county selectman of Space. So, count me in unless the position has been taken. I've emailed Christina as well. Felix (19 years ago, 24-May-05, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

(...) I like the ants idea. What you could have is a "home base" or somewhere the RCX's can return to (some simple sensor based thing), and then a feeding area. In between you have any number of obstacles. The RCX's draw, or follow lines left by (...) (19 years ago, 24-May-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I've never thought of doing it at a mass event (OK, possibly because I've not been to any), but I've thought of doing it on my own. I suspect the biggest drawback is having your RCX's already built into a MOC to bring to BrickFest. (...) If (...) (19 years ago, 24-May-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I would, but it's on the wrong end of the country... Heck, I wasn't even able to make it to the PDX event! (19 years ago, 23-May-05, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.events.brickfest)

(...) That's up to John Barnes as Technic/Mindstorms coordinator. It would require a dedicated space all fest, which is hard to come by, and people to coordinate/monitor it, as well as people to devise the standards (may be the same people). So (...)

(...) Which I agree would be a very cool thing to see, especially with some strategic filming. Is there not room for both? Again, it would be neat to include Spybotics as well - depending on the behaviour you are trying to get. (19 years ago, 23-May-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Hi! Cool. Now I'm a cohort ;-) (...) Well, sort of... the robotic forklift I brought to HoB is currently the most complex module (that I *know* about) that requires an RCX, but there are some other options. A ball-sorting mechanism is (...) (19 years ago, 23-May-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) TOTALLY agree. Not saying it's not relevant to robotics, there is lots of clever mechanical stuff to be learned from GBC... Just saying it's somewhat in a different direction from leaving a bunch of identical RCX based autonomous mobile (...) (19 years ago, 23-May-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Not having an RCX does not necesarily make it irrelevant to robotics. I consider automatons fairly relevant - and the technique of getting a single motor to do many things is a very valuable one, especially considering the IO limitations of (...)

(...) Right, but haven't you and your cohorts (Hi Brian!) been busily proving that there hasn't yet been a mechanism that NEEDED an RCX? Most of the GBC modules are (brilliantly, elegantly...) purely mechanical except for the train ball return, and (...) (19 years ago, 23-May-05, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
