  Chris' notebook
 
I'm sure somewhere, Chris has a logbook with notes like this: :) ---...--- March 16, 2003 I just got home from rtl13. WOW. Some of the robots there were SO impressive. After seeing the the incredable robots by John G and Steve H, not to mention the (...) (21 years ago, 8-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto) !! 
 
  Re: block scoreing....
 
(...) I think he was being sarchastic. What I think we're all having a hard time understanding, is why this is such a problem? Just change your light sensor values. Instead of looking for white, look for black. Or vise-versa, whatever you need. (...) (21 years ago, 8-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: block scoreing....
 
(...) no... I mis spoke. my EOAT is a simple mechanical device; it still uses a light sensor to sort. I was trying to explain to the guys that this concept is nothing fancy. but it work(ed) well (...) this is my last hope idea. I'll try to make it (...)

  Re: block scoreing....
 
(...) Wow. You found a mechanical way to separate the white blocks from the pit? That's pretty impressive! I would like to see that. So before you go destroying your robot to build one that picks out black blocks instead, could you take a few (...) (21 years ago, 7-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  block scoreing....
 
damn .... damn.... damn..... my robot was DONE!!! all that was left was the tweaking. and maybe if I wanted to colour co-ordination.... then bruce casually mentions this: ---snip from the rules---- Each black block is worth one point, while each (...)

  Re: 40% coverage!!!
 
(...) maybe at ventax..... (...) this is the beauty of being the client, the sales guy, the developer, and the installer all in one. my EOAT is simple, and light, and 100% heck, I even programmed in an ambient light test cycle. I've never done that (...) (21 years ago, 7-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  rice pit
 
looks like lugnet is somehow censoring my headers. my original post was: The rule page does not mention this. Are we attaching the pit to the play field? Should we screw it down; like when we screwed the "hill" to the the play field? of course the (...) (21 years ago, 7-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: 40% coverage!!!
 
(...) Complex EOAT's will be the downfall of mankind, m'boy. :) (haha. Maybe not, but I just know that I've had insane problems with robot end of arm tools that got terribly complex because sales didn't quote aux. automation and thought "oh, well, (...)

  40% coverage!!!
 
My anti-X time is 40% pit coverage! -my bot has a platform base. -a great arm (22" long*) -and a EOAT that no only sucks bricks from the bottom of the pit, BUT also sorts them AT THE -TOOL HEAD!!!!!! Chris * yes yes calum, I know we have an 18" (...) (21 years ago, 7-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Attention losers (of the rice game)
 
DAMN!!!! the more I sit and work on this game, the more solutions i come up with. Ergo, in the spirit of friendly competition, and taking a page from Steve H book of rules, I think I'm going to enter more than one robot. YEP! you heard that right. (...)
