(...) Well, there's a balance here. If we say, you have to use a motor, it rules out a number of interesting little "shrapnel-bots" which use a strategy that is simply to obstruct. If you say, have a certain size, then you rule out other methods, (...) (19 years ago, 12-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Sure, I agree that everything there was a valid entry (maybe not a valid "robot" by my definition of "robot," but we can argue that endlessly), but are the competitions about building an interesting and clever robot, or scanning the rules for (...)

(...) Or how about: 1. No part of your robot may touch the floor at the BEGINING of the contest. 2. At least one powered motor must be used. Both these rules would prevent my dad from building me a big solid tower that just hold my end up. -Greg (19 years ago, 11-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
