For the record, I'd like to suggest custom sensors be allowed in the future. With that said, I doubt they will be allowed, at least for a while. I understand the reasoning for not allowing this type of thing. And I really don't disagree with it. (...) (22 years ago, 21-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

One of the competition ideas which didn't make it to BrickFest this year was to be in a walled enclosure. In the design process, I discovered that a line is not a good idea. You need a black border going all the way to the wall. If you put a line (...) (22 years ago, 21-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I have a quick rules question. I'm not sure if I need it, but are sensor multiplexers allowed for rtl events? (like touch sensor multiplexers?) I know there are other ways of doing this, but I just want to know what is, and what isn't allowed. Steve (22 years ago, 21-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I've got data for the statistical comparison between the 4107 and the 3033.
