I find it hard to get excited about games like tug of war. But then I've never done well with free roaming robots. Given the number of games we played on the Tug of War afternoon I don't think we had a problem with the games needing to run smoother. (...) (18 years ago, 9-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Do we make the games to hard? If we had a simpler "less" complex game would the games run smother? I dont mean a "simple" game. As an example, I mean, something like tug of war, BUT not with the free rope part. Chris (18 years ago, 9-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) yes rob, you are correct, this COULD be a game of pre held tokens. BUT, wouldn't it be cooler to have the tokens, at some pre determined place, then you had to go and grasp the token, THEN place it? Chris (18 years ago, 7-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Am I missing something here? There is a lot of talk about ball (or block or shape) handling, but in TTT you just play with your own pieces and never have to "pick-up" anything. I would think a magazine solution would be simpler all around, unless (...) (18 years ago, 7-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
