I thought those were new road plates. I saw them a few days ago but couldn't remember if I'd seen them before. The strange thing is they are only shown with the Creator sets. If you look under City you'll see the older road plates. I need some T (...) (22 years ago, 29-Aug-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I really like the design of the firefighting contest. I think that is beyond my capabilities though. The robot art thing is probably more my speed. Ooo, I'm geting ideas already. Just call me Van Gogh. Or whoever. (no really, don't.) Iain (22 years ago, 29-Aug-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Hi Dan, Thanks for posting all of these dates. I'm going to try and come to the TSME meeting on Sept 13, and I am also going to enter a robot for the ECRG. For all the other rtl folk: check out the Eastern Canadian Robotics Games. (URL) looks (...) (22 years ago, 28-Aug-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Well duh :) We had to kick it out enough that it would overcome the startup friction of draging the grape along the slide bed, as well as having enough tension to collapse the stiff sling-material to a point where it would clear the structure.

Manganel. I tried building one out of lego, using the bungee from the 8205 Bungee Blaster, but it didn't work very well. It might have worked better if i'd had a sling instead of just a cup, but that would have taken more time/energy than i was (...) (22 years ago, 28-Aug-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Calum i am now SO very sorry that I could not come out and join you for lobbing grapes. As a one off event to try in your back yard this looks like fun. BUT i want to warn people that as an RTLToronto event I don't want to see anyone get hurt. (...) (22 years ago, 28-Aug-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
