(...) I don't know, I've been trying to find the MIT contest webpages but I haven't been able to turn them up. I think there was a size and weight restriction in the original contest. Actually, come to think of it, all I remember was Alan Alda in (...) (22 years ago, 1-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Embraer was being funded by the Brazilian government, an approach we didn't take lightly to.

(...) It's easier and heavier to do it with battery boxes. I have more then enough of those. In the MIT contest, how do they handle this? Derek (22 years ago, 1-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Do we really need a weight restriction? I mean, if you really want to load yer bad boy up with lead bricks bought off BrickLink, go right ahead. Calum (22 years ago, 1-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I don't think that will work properly, though (from a fairness standpoint). Specifically because: 10 N @ 1 m = 10 Nm So a 1 kg mass (appr. 10 N) at the end of the beam generates a moment of 10 Nm at the fulcrum. Robot A weighs 25 N and robot B (...)

(...) One option for the weight restriction is to use something like the weighting currently in use for jockeys... but on a case by case basis. Specifically, put two bots on the beam, then weight the end of the lighter beam until the two start off (...) (22 years ago, 1-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) It's the size of the small compressor, but it's a cylinder. No. I only have one small cylinder, but more then god of the large ones thanks to backhoes and Sears clearance. Derek (22 years ago, 1-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

So I bought those Pnu accessory kits (3 of them), and I bought a few other miscellaneous large cylinders and such... So here's the breakdown on what I own-- 14 pnu valves 10 large cylinders with square bottom 8 large pnu pumps 7 small pnu pumps 5 (...) (22 years ago, 1-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
