(...) I totally agree with you. I think it's not very well worded and can be interpreted several ways. Whether that was deliberate so that readers would read in what they wanted to... who can say. One would hope not, eh? (...) Agreed. One wonders if (...) (22 years ago, 30-Nov-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I agree with Steve. But, the emphasis should be on trying. If someone sets out right from the start to build a crap robot that doesn't even attempt to solve the problem at hand, then I would rather they just leave it at home. But I love seeing (...)

(...) Well why didn't they *say* that then. :) O.K. I guess I was reading into the statement only what I wanted it to mean, rather than what it might really mean. But it does point out how tricky semantics can be. What I thought it meant was, (...) (22 years ago, 30-Nov-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) It was actually Tijs, and it was far from being the best robot at rtl10! (Tijs Verwest (say: tee-ESSE) is DJ Tiesto, he's one of my favourite. Comes up with the kind of stuff I really enjoy listening to. Best name the next robot Ferry*? I was (...) (22 years ago, 29-Nov-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I think so too. I like seeing the half built ones. It also gives the person a lot of encouragement and inspiration to come out for the next one with something working properly. Calum (22 years ago, 29-Nov-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Shoot. That came out all wrong - I meant to say, it's much better to come with something crappy that doesn't quite function, rather than nothing. I meant to indicate that I, myself, have a bad habit of not even bringing what I had partially (...) (22 years ago, 29-Nov-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) So now I agree with Steve... I want Iain to show up, even if he doesn't have a working 'bot. I want Rob to be there 'cause what he does always impresses me. I want to mock Chris, and I want Chris to mock me, so yes, Chris, I guess you can show (...) (22 years ago, 29-Nov-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
