In trying to style-up a new robot design at work (*I* think it's ugly), I was poking around online. I remembered being really drawn to what I understood was one of the earliest (if not the first industrial robot) when I was younger, and tried (...)

(...) Odd. I just bought it at the Sears Clearance Centre in Brampton for 89.95 (A week ago). They also had *another* Vision Command for $35. This is in addition to the one bought by an RTL member after I informed everyone about my German RIS 2.0 (...)   (24 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I guess no one is going to cheat, but if my bot just say it is done at 0 sec then my score would be 24 sec at worst. So the penalty time for wrong block need to increase - I suggest 6 sec. Also how are we going to count the overall score? Do (...)   (24 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) At the risk of being wishy-washy..... I like this. It makes sense, and it address rob's concern.

 OK folks, since I don't have a robot competing, perhaps I'll throw out some suggestions: Some scoring rules I've heard bandied around are: First to finish: +20 or +50... Block wrong: -10 or disqualified Block mispositioned: -5 I'd observe that in (...)   (24 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
