|
|

(...) I agree. You guys need to eliminate the lower mark. That will make it much easier for people like me to build robots that will be talked about for months after the contest. If I were making up rules, I would simply hang a second rope with a (...) (21 years ago, 27-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)
