DAVE!!! hi boy did i sure I miss you! :) (...) as for Lor. I can only say good riddance! ever since that little robot stole one of me chicken wings at the last dinner, I always thought he had it coming. Chris (21 years ago, 26-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Errrr....... ok, you guys may or may not find this funny, but after visiting the aforementionned link, I saw this little sentence: "I hadn't had the new 'bot plugged in for much more than 5 minutes before it started moving on its own.

First, stopping by to say a nice 'Hi!' to all my compadres. Hope things are well in the world of rtl... Secondly, and much more important...

  Re: Matter of time...
 
(...) From the Arbitrator's point of view, it tracks the how long each turn takes, but takes no actions based on that time. So we must watch turn time manually. Personally, if you go over the three minutes by a few seconds, I don't have a problem (...) (21 years ago, 26-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Why does it matter so much? What's your underlying concern? (...) I'm glad you like it. What's on the board for rtl16 will be even more fun. Calum (21 years ago, 26-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: Matter of time...
 
(...) the rule seems to suggest a soft 3 min. -------snip rule---...--- it is recommended that the robot must complete a single move in a maximum of three minutes. ---...--- which is a piss off cause ~!! I !!~ want to see a HARD 3 min. (21 years ago, 26-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: Looking for isographic/axonometric lego graph paper
 
(...) Is this what you're looking for? I just threw it together in 'paintbrush', it's not 100% accurate but it looks pretty close: (URL) would be pretty easy to scale to a larger size, too. JohnG, GMLTC (21 years ago, 26-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: Matter of time...
 
(...) I have to ask this question, again, because I don't think it was really answered last time. Is the 3 minute limit a hard limit (you go over, you lose) or is it just recommended (like the rules say) so, if you go over it, people start to point (...)

  Looking for isographic/axonometric lego graph paper
 
I'm wondering if anyone has found a source (or program to generate) axonometric (also known as isometric afaik) graph paper with the 6/5 ratio of standard bricks? TIA- Rob A. (21 years ago, 26-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

  Re: Matter of time...
 
on a related time note.... I was just reminded of the rules that says that not only are you limited to 3 min a turn. BUT the entire game is 40 min long!!! UGN!! that means that if i want to ply for every turn to the max of 3 min, then that only (...) (21 years ago, 26-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

  Matter of time...
 
I have a couple timing/handoff questions. First, when does a player's time start? Is it when the other robot/arbitrator presses the EOT button, or when they release it? Also, if a robot misses the EOT signal, will they lose right then, or will (...) (21 years ago, 26-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

  Re: Has anybody successfully added an RCX to 7471 Mars Rover?
 
(...) I've been wondering about this for a while, but if the final result does end up being a bit sluggish, or not quite powerful enough to drive over small pebbles, would it help to hook two drive motors up to each of the center wheels? I get the (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)
 
  Re: Has anybody successfully added an RCX to 7471 Mars Rover?
 
(...) Well, halfway there! I've replaced the middle tire assemblies with some stepped-down motors and attached them to the actual unit. The wires are threaded up through the guts of the structure and hooked up to the RCX. Success! It moves and moves (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)
