Dad and I arrived about 10 minutes after everything opened up to the public; we'd parked at Yorkdale, and went over from there on the subway. o Sheppard-Yonge This station is now the new (...)

How about (as in RTL11) 1 point for *clearly* getting all parts of the robot off the table and 1 point if you're still the only one on top at the end of the round. This would reward a robot that successfully makes the attempt to climb the box but (...) (22 years ago, 21-Nov-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
