Hey guys, There was talk of a live3 8475 RC Racer smackdown at Hobby Show. I know I heard from Ivan as to interest. Is there anyone else? Followup to this thread. Calum (21 years ago, 12-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Here's the board mounting I came up with. (URL) made with parts from a single kit. But if you only have a single RIS, you'll only be able to make one board mount, and that won't leave any 1x16 beams for your robot... The top beam will flip down and (...)

(...) Well, personally, I'm not sure if it's more "classy" to drive a few screws through the legs of a Connect-4 board, a piece of wood, and a LEGO base-plate. :) But I agree it does change the rules of the game a little bit. However, using the (...) (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Using a non-standard board makes it a lot easier, since the primary challenge (as I've seen it) has been building a tower that rolls back and forth but is set back from the board enough that the legs don't interfere with it. I think it would be (...) (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) He's probably just overstated his idea a little. Obviously the board can't be mounted permanently into one of the robots. However you can build a mount to connect to the common board to your robot. Derek (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) All great stuff, but Steve seems to be saying "build the board mounding into their robot" which sounds like it goes into the yellow area in the diagram. That seems wrong to me, since it suggests that the robot is married/entangled into the (...) (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) If you read the rule set posted: (URL) find that the board mount is a common piece, separate from both robots. What Steve is proposing is to only use the yellow board without the blue legs and replacing the legs with a common frame design. (...) (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Each robot would only be able to "build in" an attachment to the [left] side of the board. (as they face the board) The other side (right to me, left to you) would still be controlled by the other robot. I played around with a few ideas this (...)

(...) As an outsider with no standing that seems like it ought to be disallowed, because if two bots that had the board built in were to compete, what would you do then? But a LEGO base seems nifty! (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I like this Idea. If you can come up with something simple, that's made of generally available parts. ie. from the mindstorms kit I think it would be a much better solution. There would have to be clear plans for how to build it and where your (...) (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I had an idea for a way to mount the C-4 board, but I wanted to know what people think. The general idea was to remove the blue "legs" and build a LEGO replacement, instead of trying to come up with a way to secure the original legs to the ground. (...)

(...) Single wire sensor (float/brake) toggle or else IR, imo. (Either is fine, since I'm using one brick -- might be more complicated for people with multibrick bots.) Although it would even be possible to do the double wire for me, just really (...) (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
