I agree wholeheartedly with Derek. The Library would be a good place for the vending machines. I probably wouldn't be able to build a vending machine by November. I am focussed right now on building my fire extinguishing robot. Rob "Derek Raycraft" (...) (22 years ago, 12-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I'm going to be in Montreal instead of Mel's. Go figure. But here's what I do: I put as much weight over the drive wheels as possible. This improves traction. I use a 2x2 round plate with the curved, smooth bottom, the one used on boats in Town. Or (...) (22 years ago, 12-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

It may be a good idea to start with rtl13. What event would work best in the library setting? Then, decide on rtl12. It doesn't seem like Trebuchets would be good IN the library. Are they interested/willing to hold the event outside? (is that even (...) (22 years ago, 11-Sep-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
