  Re: Starting C4 Games
 
(...) No we just won't allow this. No sensor ports are to be connected together at any time. Over sort durations we know this doesn't hurt the sensor ports, but we don't know what will happen after a day of game play. Add in the differences of the (...)

  C4 Sound a tone at begining and end of turn.
 
I'd like to suggest that every one sounds a tone at the end of their turn, and sounds a different tone to at the beginning their turn. Doesn't mater what it is, just that you recognize it. This will help us determine what is happing with turn (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: Starting C4 Games
 
(...) This is why you cannot listen to your end of turn sensor. There will only ever be one sensor attached to a sensor port and one port attached to one sensor. The will remove all these issues of what happens when two or more sensor ports are (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: Starting C4 Games
 
(...) I noticed that too. How about we simply agree that everyone connects the arbitrating wire to the sensor with the wire facing away from the display.

  Re: Starting C4 Games
 
(...) For some reason, I was thinking about this today, also. :) I agree this needs to be clear, because VERY few games require this level of start-up cooperation. Your suggestion: 1) Robot 1 receives Start Game signal from Arbitrator (or external (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Starting C4 Games
 
One thing that has not been clearly indicated in the rules is how the connect 4 games will be started. I have what I think is a simple proposal. The game is started by pressing the turn button on the robot that is to go first. If playing with the (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: progress?
 
(...) I currently have the mechanics of my robot completed, with the exception of the horizontal drive. As usual the original plan for driving horizontal motion (basically no plan) didn't work out, so the new drive will look a little tacked on. It (...)
