  Re: Wonder where all the Connect Fours went in North America?
 
(...) ENUFF of your INSOLENCE!!! actually, I don't really CARE to scan the entire board. BUT in the spirit of motivating the rest of RTL, I find that I have to create some arbitrary unit of measure as a kind of challenge to the group. ERGO, if my (...)

(...) Chris: Why on earth would you scan every square? Surely the worst scenario is scanning the top of all seven columns? (21 years ago, 24-Dec-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: scan time....
 
(...) what am I missing??? I've explained that !!AT FIRST ATTEMPT!!! it take 35 seconds to scan the board. with 42 cells on the board that's less than a second a cell, OR just over 5 seconds to scan a row...... this still means that I have one day (...)

  Re: scan time....

  Re: scan time....
 
(...) That's strange--I was just thinking that Steve must be rubbing his hands with glee!! "Oh those rtl'ers--they won't know what hit 'em!! I'll come up with a witty response, throwing down something like 'I can do that 'bot with one motor!!'", and (...) (21 years ago, 23-Dec-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) this is sarcasm.... I can tell. (...) freak! (...) gee, and you wonder why people have it "out for you" :) <-- always implied Chris "It is a very clever strategy IMHO, and I applaud Chris for thinking of it." K.C. (21 years ago, 23-Dec-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: scan time....
 
(...) wow. 35 seconds? That's almost 1 second per square. That's pretty fast. Mine takes almost 4 seconds. I'm just wrapping up my second C$ robot. It only uses 1 motor. Next, I need to start on my marble sorting robot... Steve (21 years ago, 23-Dec-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

  scan time....
 
POINTLESS. but FYI my first attempt at a board scan resulted in a time of 35 seconds. Heck, at that speed, my Project X could have done TWO anti-X times. now, if only I can find some way to program some sort of random number...... think think (...)
