(...) I used to be kind of against this, because I'm sick of loophole pokers (Steve, JeffE, I'm looking in your direction...) but the thing is, we have better things to do than to try and outrule everyone. That and Steve never does it anyways. He's (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I'd also be concerned that scoring this way would open the door to to "loophole bots" like Rob's (?) at RTL15 (URL) which, while I thought it exploited a clever loophole in the scoring, did somewhat disadvantage other bots that more closely (...)

(...) You mean by counting ALL the blocks of your home colo[u]r? It seems like only counting up to the wrong color would offer a big penalty for non-sorting robots. If two non-sorting robots compete, the winner will be the lucky one, who is last to (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) No, because if I build a tower without sorting the colours, and the bottom block was the opponents colour I would get nothing for it. I'm suggesting that you should get full points for the tower, but you don't get the bonus for building it all (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Can towers touch the sides of the arena? (...) Although I proposed this rule, the problem with it is it forces anyone who builds towers to also sort. Since we were discussing allowing different levels of participation to complete, this seems a (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Well, how's this for a set of rules: 1. Tower Height: Points are awarded by height of tower. Number of blocks tall 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Points 0 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 -Towers can touch each other, but the robot cannot touch the tower 2. Tower Colour: (...)

(...) I'm definitely interested. I don't care much about the size rule, but I really like the idea of small blocks. Lots of small blocks.
