Iain: You sent me e-mail asking about the width of the tape on the game board. This is what I have decided to do. 1. put down a strip of grey DUCT tape over the gape in the board. This might help pushy robots. 2. put down 2 strips of 3/4" black AC (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
