(...) Oh my god! I had a good idea? Wow. I think if a hopper design was posted that had to be made exactly the same, and there were some minor requirements for where you can attach it, and you just say "you intentially can't knock recived blocks (...)

(...) That's a good idea for a competition. I'm sure we'd have to define the rules a bit to state that the hopper can't be covered, and once a block is in the hopper, no mechanism can knock it out of the hopper... Here's the thing about the other (...) (19 years ago, 26-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I think I'm going to start a pool, where people can bet on the number of blocks that get delivered at rtl 20. I'm going to guess four. But, that's only because after several zero-block rounds, two people will realize they can score one point each by (...) (19 years ago, 26-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
