        rtlToronto10: Project X Lego Robotics Event
        Saturday, February 23rd, 2002
        10AM Competitors / 1PM  Audience
        Lillian H Smith Branch, Toronto Public Library
        239 College Street, Toronto
        (W of St George, E of Spadina)

Hi folks,

        We're little more than a week away from rtlToronto10, the most
complex Lego robotics design competition ever staged.  So far, more than
twelve competitors have registered to bring their implementation of
Project X: A robot that can take a random set of Lego blocks and put
them into an X pattern, in the least possible time with the most accuracy.

        Project X is literally building an industrial robot out of
Lego-doing a task that could be representative of a real robot out in a
factory welding parts, picking up medical samples, or placing microchips.

        We hope to see you there next Saturday, it'll be honestly the most
Lego robotics (and the least figure skating* judging corruption) you can
find in Canada.

        Find out more, including maps:

(...) Actually, I should say, the most complex Lego robotics design competition, _we've_ ever staged :) Somewhere, someone, probably has an competition where RCXes have to perform triple lutzes and quad salchows.

(...) Did we finalize the idea of when the 'bot is finished? When it drops the last block, when it stops moving, or what? I still feel that the 'bot should PlaySound(1) when it thinks it's finished--Let the 'bot decide when it's done. Anywho, (...) (23 years ago, 21-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
