  Re: Naming: Request
 
(...) Actually, this would be a good idea. I sort of miss it too. You don't have to spend a long time thinking of a catchy name that is legally trademarkable, then devise an extensive brand marketing scheme around it (Team Knob: The Goal is (...)

  Naming: Request
 
I've noticed that at the more recent rtl events have had a lack of names for robots. IE, it's always just "X's Robot", where X = robot builder. Can everyone name their robots this time, like we used to like at, say, rtl4? Who could forget Rogue (...) (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: Dystopic Progression?
 
(...) Oh, for real! I see… looks like I’ve read wayyyyyyyy to far into that comment. Thanx for the clarification Lar. -R (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.general)
 
  Re: Wow. This is track.
 
(...) that does bring tears to eyes just looking at that....... all those boxes (unopened, of course), including the 5 freight loading stations...... :( Benjamin Medinets (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: Is it wrong?
 
(...) I think it all boils down to what you are trying to achieve with the model. If you feel like "cheating" and use non-lego items on it, that is fine...you are the maker.... just don't tell the kiddies looking at it, "that with enough bricks, (...)

  Is it wrong?
 
Hi folks, I have a dumb question: Is it wrong, and by wrong, I mean, would it be unusual or looked down on, to have the roof of a building in a Town layout to be made of plexiglass or glass? Iain and I were looking at the bus station at Square One (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Wow. This is track.
 
Chris, you need smore track to taunt like this*: (URL) 80 plus boxes of track in there. That's almost like...$1600 Canadian. Plus those 4555 Freight Loading Stations. Calum *-Chris owns a box of track solely to taunt me should I ever need more (...) (23 years ago, 3-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: Dystopic Progression?
 
(...) I think he was referring to Calum's personal town layout, which has been seen by many folks, rather than the machinations of the group per se. Not that there are any. (23 years ago, 3-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.general)
 
  Dystopic Progression?
 
(...) Hey, where in the world did that come from?!? Only I may comment upon the dytopic nature of our group! (rtlToronto) I sure wasn’t aware that you’re involved with the inner-workings and flawed infrastructure that exists within my particular (...)

  Re: [rtlToronto] November Monthly Dinner, Friday Nov 16th, 2001
 
(...) Congratulations Calum, you got me to de-lurk. Well done! Mario (23 years ago, 3-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: X marks the spot
 
(...) Just to inject a note of seriousness..... I've said it time and again, This is OUR group. it is as much Robs right to suggest a name as it is Iains, Daves, Dereks, or whom ever. Calum runs the web page, and i am just the loud mouth. IF (...) (23 years ago, 3-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: another step closer to being a serious robotics competitor
 
(...) Well said Calum! I wholeheartedly agree! I think this is the smartest thing anyone has ever said pertaining to robotics design. I learned this the hard way over the past year. Sure, it sometimes helps to have a zillion parts to choose from, (...) (23 years ago, 2-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  [rtlToronto] November Monthly Dinner, Friday Nov 16th, 2001
 
Hi folks, rtlToronto November Monthly Dinner Friday, November 16th, 2001, 6pm Mel's Montreal Deli, 440 Bloor Street West (E of Bathurst) (URL) a note to announce the November Monthly Dinner on the 16th, only about two weeks away. Bring your (...) (23 years ago, 2-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.announce)
 
  Re: another step closer to being a serious robotics competitor
 
(...) It's not the collection, it's the effort! Most of the best entrants into the rtlToronto events often are people with very small amounts of Lego. It's the R&D process of designing, prototyping, building, testing and repeating it all over that (...) (23 years ago, 2-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: Train 3?
 
(...) No, you don't get it-I don't care when the event is, that's up to other people. The problem is when the library is free. That was why train1 was at Richview (because Eatonville wasn't ready yet) and why train2 ran the weekend it did (because (...) (23 years ago, 2-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  another step closer to being a serious robotics competitor
 
I now I seriously need to "overhaul" my technic/mindstorm collection ... (at the moment, I still only have the camera and the RIS 1.5) Real crappy in comparison to a LOT of robotics die-hards. But I did go another step closer to be a competitor by (...) (23 years ago, 2-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: X marks the spot
 
(...) I don't want to be an annoying non-robotics person who is baselessly inputting his 2 cents in, but I thought after the competition, Chris named the event in honor of not winning another robotics competition, and to celebrate the 10th (...)

  Re: Train 3?
 
(...) right....you are the boss....and I'll settle for whenever you choose to run it....and in the mean time, I'll be making sure my contribution is as feasible as possible..... Benjamin Medinets (23 years ago, 2-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: X marks the spot
 
(...) Yes. My mechanical stuff is working perfectly. I only need to motorise one pneumatic switch, and build a compressor. I havent started on the programming yet, but i have a few ideas. Trevyn. (23 years ago, 2-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: X marks the spot
 
(...) I say NO!!! :) I like the idea of a game that references ME!!! :) (...) YES!!! :) I have a working X axis (back forth)and a proto Y axis(left right). I have a gripper concept, and i need to work on the Z (up down) (sorry Iain, I know that in (...) (23 years ago, 2-Nov-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
