Okay, If you're building a robot for this, followup a post with: a) One robot at a time, or races between two. (One/Two) b) On table or on floor.

Okay, whoah, flood of posts about the drag racing. My thoughts - - I thought we were going to have a finish line, a fixed, known distance, from a fowl line (in our case, the end of the table), with an unknown distance from the fowl line to the start (...)

(...) The line across the table is what you use to detect that you need to stop. I'm only arguing my point from the perspective of the original game. We've already changed that by saying we have to return to the start line. If we wish to change the (...) (20 years ago, 27-Sep-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
