Partially my own fault for not building a bot :) – but I have good excuses … let me just get them from my car … *runs away* :P As for the pics from the event – I tried uploading them to (...)

Sat was a fun day. I know everyone is waiting to hear about who won, and the results of the day. this is how things shaped up: Derek had a cold. Bruce showed up to whip some rope, and forgot to build a robot. Calum showed up with HALF a robot, John (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jun-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) This is because the 68010 had no floating point hardware. That is why I wrote Mandelvroom to use fixed point arithmetic. Instead of bits having values like 1, 2, 4, 8..... I made them have values like 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16...... Written in (...) (20 years ago, 27-Jun-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Come to think of it, I probably did try that once. Those screens look awfully familiar! The issue was speed: I initially only had an A2000HD with a "modified" CPU (a MC68010L10).

I'm so screwed, and I can't figure out why this won't work. Yes, it's for tomorrow. Language is NQC. I have a light sensor looking at the rope.
