  Re: The NEXT game.
 
(...) Actually, I couldn't be more happy with my decision to forego C4. I knew I was in way over my head. I had a lot of fun entering my silly marble robot on Saturday. Probably the most fun I've had at a competition yet. Thanks for running the game (...) (21 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Where can one 15' of cotton sash cord? I checked Canadian Tire, Home Depot, even Walmart with absolutely no luck (only poly rope at all of them) I did find 100m package at my local Home Hardware...but they wouldn't sell just a piece, and I (...)

I like this idea, and will probably attempt to build a robot. (...) From the department of redundancy department... But seriously, 3 feet sounds good. (...) None, other than itself. (...) None.

  Re: C$ - Code Only
 
(...) I can see a few soloutions: 1 on board UI. run prg slot 1 or 2 depending on who goes first. for OTHER os's then you can have an ON BOARD UI, press view, or prg. to start. 2. beam a "message" to each brick. 1 or 2. 3. put a touch sensor on each (...)

  C$ - Code Only
 
Here's a quick look at the interface for a code-only C$ game. 1) There must be some method to tell you code if it's going first or second. 2) When it's your turn, calculate a move, then send an IR message which indicates the column number (1-7) of (...)

(...) AHh, but the issue was that, iirc, (and maybe I dont), 2000 *wasn't* a leap year--but I could be wrong on that Lemmee go check 2000 calendars... D'oh! My bad! I once again have a faulty recollection! Not unheard of. And I stand corrected. (...) (21 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: Great News!!!!
 
(...) You mean besides the one four years ago? Yes, indeed, 2000 was a leap year. Everyone knows that a year that's divisible by 4 is a leap year (well, barring really young kids and such). Lots of people also know that you end up with a few extra (...) (21 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

  Re: The NEXT game.
 
(...) In defence of Rob, he showed up for Marble Sorting (or hoarding... whatever). In defence of me, I've let the leaders know when I was going to be involved, or not going to be involved, in a competition well before hand. Don't 'dumb' things down (...)

  Re: Revised topo map for train6m?
 
(...) Now that C$ is done I'm putting all my Lego concentration on Train. I'll be going over the layout and designs this week. Dave, what's the date in April we are aiming for?

  Re: The NEXT game.
 
(...) Just a suggestion from an 'outsider' (non-RTL person) - how about robots that have to climb the rope, then back down to the ground, and back to their starting spot, or to a common "finish line"? This would make multiple challenges: Find the (...) (21 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
