|
|
The 8376 RC Racer Radio Shack Exclusive is in Canadian Radio Shacks for $119.00. It looks like it has many of the key RC components of the 8375 for about 33% cheaper. The 4589 Nitro Flash (The IR racer) is $38 at Walmart. The receiver/motor/steering (...) (21 years ago, 18-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I’m not sure (Chris, correct me if I’m wrong), but, I thought I heard Calum, Jeff, Derek and Dave discussing trains in general and finally coming to the realization that continued involvement in that area was just silly. I’m pretty sure that (...) (21 years ago, 18-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Couldn't you achieve the same end result by using just one sensor port? And signal EoT by changing the port from Passive to Active and back? (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Do the control labs have 2 inputs and 2 outputs? Can you just hook one in & out together, and say that is the signal line for one robot? (then do the same for the other?) Then, when one signal is received, the control lab sends out a signal on (...) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Your point here is valid. We do need to experiment with the signaling wiring and procedure. Potentially we could say any press and releases in a 2 second period count as one. Your turn is automatically 2 seconds long. It's tricky we need to (...) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) You may be surprised how easily this could happen. The simple act of pressing the button, and holding it, could cause more than one "signal" to be sent. In mechanical switches, you can get some "bounce" when opening or closing the it. Like (...) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) You just have to signal the first robot to start. Possibly through hitting run, or whatever method you choose. It then signals the completion of its first move. This starts the clocks. There is no advantage to sitting around contemplating an (...) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) If it's decided that the arbitrator does not automaticly signal, then a touch sensor could be added to the signal line, which starts the match. Then, the lucky person going first, doesn't also get 1 free turn. But, actually, I think it could (...) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) This is problematic. It forces the arbitrator to have to signal as well as listen. I think the arbitor should just start it's clocks when the first robot signals. So because red goes first timing will start when the red player signals it has (...) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

man, it's quite here, today. What are you people doing, working? I know Calum doesn't want my input in the rules, but that's really not going to stop me.
