And since there's nothing in the rules that says they need to center (...) (21 years ago, 27-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Hey guys- One more thing; I hope that none of y'all have any beef with me about my laziness thing. It's also one of my bad habits which I've been told by a friend that I have to change.

(...) Hey, V. I have a quick suggestion for you. Before you go out and spend the money for a new RCX just for this project, you may want to build up some of the other pieces, and see if you can get them to work. For example, tie together your 20 (...) (21 years ago, 26-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I forgot to mention... We do this for FUN. We do this to see different approaches to the same problem. The contest simply gives us a common goal and a time deadline. Winning, and for that matter losing, are really not what we're about. (21 years ago, 26-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
