Good day! Turns out that there is an interest of Ontario LEGO builders in attending this year's Hobby Show at the International Centre in Toronto, Ontario. So here's a few prelims-- Those of you who were there last year may remember the soap opera (...)

(...) It was actually very successful, and fun. The thing we did to avoid ties was to have the time-to-play be the tiebreaker.

(...) The problem with tic-tac-toe is we'll have a day full of ties. Now I'd love to build a tic-talc-toe playing robot.

(URL) I decided yesterday to do some analysis on the number of "insufferable" throwdown posts versus actual performance. As you can see, the ratio of trashtalk to wins is about 1:1 for DaveK, and 2:1 for Chris. Winners like JohnG, Edward and Vitali (...) (18 years ago, 1-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)
