  Re: Wanted...white umbrellas
 
G'Day Back when i was young(er) i had the same problem, so bought the cheapest umbrellas i could find, around $5, and spray painted the insides, one silver, one gold, one white. Worked out pretty well, but the paint did make them harder to fold up, (...) (19 years ago, 4-Mar-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

  Re: Battery Box Needed!
 
(...) That would be great. I will be sure to bring the 9V battery, so if you bring the battery box I will be set. See you tommorow. Vitali (19 years ago, 3-Mar-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: Gear lash.... & casters
 
(...) Thanks for the feedback, Steve. I did try one wheel, but found that the bot would either track sideways (if the L&R were on the same side) or drag (if both to the inside/outside). I think the problem in this case was way too much weight on the (...) (19 years ago, 3-Mar-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)
 
  Re: rtl21 - Can Stacking
 
(...) The other fun thing about 3T has been the unexpected. Like the fact that bouncing blocks are a real problem, and how your opponent places blocks can effect how accurately you register them. And of course you can play against humans (a (...) (19 years ago, 3-Mar-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

  Re: Battery Box Needed!
 
(...) It was a guideline, but many people will probably NOT follow it. I'll bring ya a 9V battery box--no problem. It uses the 9V battery--but I don't have one, so you'll have to bring a 9V battery, okay? Calum (19 years ago, 3-Mar-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
