 | | Modular Connect 4 robots?
|
|
Hey guys, I had an idea. What if people built their robots in a modular fashion? There's always a mechanism RCX and a logic RCX. The logic RCX runs the game engine and tells the mechanism brick what todo. Everything is functionalized into "Drop at (...) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Quoting David Eaton <deaton@intdata.com>: (...) Wouldn't you only have to look ahead one step at a time? The opponent only has 7 choices on any given turn. It's pretty much impossible to say like playing a computer in chess, figure out how the game (...) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) To give some reference for plausibility, a look-ahead will reveal (I think): Look-ahead | Max Possibilities ---...---+---...--- 1 | 7 2 | 49 3 | 238 4 | 1,120 5 | 4,263 6 | 16,422 7 | 54,859 8 | 184,868 9 | 821,283 So, you're entirely right.

(...) A mini Star Destroyer, what a cool idea. There are several people a way on vacation this week who are quite used to seeing the Star Destroyer there. I should build your mini one and put it up as a replacement. :-) Derek (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) snip (...) Hopefully TLC is listening. Sounds like there may need to be some changes, before hoards of unhappy ISD owners riot. Derek, I offer you my regrets for your bent technic beams and the loss of your ISD as a whole. May I offer you a (...) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)

(...) Oh it's well worth building, and there's no problem with keeping it together for say a month. Mine however has been build for almost a year now. Unfortunately it's not designed well to be assembled for that long. But it's a beautiful model and (...) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I purchased 2 of the ISD's for parts only. After reading the stories about disasters and near disasters, I am glad I never built one. However, it is a great looking model. Steven Weiser (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

RIP. Well someone mentioned to me recently that they had read about people having problems with bent beams after having their Star Destroyers built for a long time. So today I decided to inspect my Star Destroyer. I took one of the lower panels off (...) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I don't believe so! (...) You bring up a good point we haven't touched on yet. If we do opt for an IR "your turn" signal (which, from what I've been reading, is what we're steering away from now), we'll have to assign numbers to people to use (...)

(...) Speaking of fitting stuff into 20 RCXs, is there a limit in this game for how many RCXs can be used? If not, doesn't that kill the idea that we can put the RCXs fact to face, to communicate with the opponent? Dang. I liked that idea better (...) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
