(...) Extra wire? Oh. I have 2 wires (one in, one out) attached. That's enought (for me) right? I think even with these long wires, things may still be tight, so I AM planning an bringing extra. As for pratice, we (here in Lafayette) are getting (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) That's definitely good. The problem is we need one extra wire per robot when using the Arbitrator. So we need extra wires for this. So if you have, and can bring extra long wires, like the 3ft ones, that would be great. Derek (21 years ago, 21-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I have the real long wires (I think about 3ft) attached to my robots. Is that long enough? That gives about 2.5 ft from my bot to the arbitrator. (21 years ago, 21-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Actually that would be 4 pairs, 8 robots, 4 simultaneous games. I think the best solution for manageability is: 2 Laptops 2 control labs, running 2 games off each laptop. Derek (21 years ago, 21-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
