I just had a thought about the rules for rtl10 and pneumatics. Are you allowed to pre-charge your pneumatics before the start of a match?

There should be a main picture page on Calum Tsang's Peachy Server (w/ RTL Events photos) regarding Train 3. (I don't think it is quite ready yet.) It will link all the photos that everybody took. I am quite sure that there were several with photos, (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)

Also, if you have a misplaced block, you should get a score of 0. The whole point of the game is to (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Done first as in the RCX thinks it's done--misplaced blocks are subtracted from your total. This way, if your 'bot finishes first but gets no blocks right, you end up with a super-low score anyway. (...) Per game-add up all the blocks Example (...)
