(...) The attitude has always been, the 8" is a rule, but we'd rather have you at the event with a robot than have you not at the event, with a working bot sitting on a shelf. No one has ever bothered to measure robots, even though I bring a ruler. (...) (20 years ago, 9-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Awesome! I have one too, and also it may even work. :) It's called Donut, after my favourite character on Red vs. Blue. Re: 9" - you're allowed, so long as you make me another drawing! :) Just kidding. I still have those MD script sheets to (...) (20 years ago, 9-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I have a 'bot! It might even work. I still have to program it, though, but I think the construction end is done. (...) Yep, mine too, maybe. I haven't checked if it fits in the 8" box, but it might on an angle. However, it definately will fit in a (...) (20 years ago, 9-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Woohooo! (...) I'm trying to have one done for the competition, but I can't say I've got very far with it. I do however, have a show and tell for Friday's dinner, on a large model I'm planning to build. I think for the first time, I'm going to (...) (20 years ago, 9-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Well on Monday night I had a chance to finish building my bot :) It is a tad bigger the the 8" allotment, but you try using those skinny motorcycle wheels (the ones that come in the mindstorms kit) to sit side by side and still have enough space for (...)

(...) Well, If Jeremy cannot make it to NMRA, then we see if he would be willing to supply us with his modules so that we can set it up down there. I don't see this as a big issue. Jeff VW (...) (20 years ago, 9-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) There was some talk of that, ILTCO is waiting for word from the show/fire marshal to tell them what type of skirting, then either ILTCO will pass that info to us, or will purchase skirting for the groups.

(...) I don't think the issue is how it looks, it's more a question of "where" right now. I'm not sure there is anywhere to spare right now. I know DaveK and Janey were talking about a whole new section, but I'm not sure where they are on this (...) (20 years ago, 9-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Perhaps dinner discussion for Friday, but has anyone here played with the new Dick Swan firmware? I just installed it on a couple of bricks to play around with, and I'm having a helluva time geting much luck out of running existing programs on it. (...)
