(...) I'll give you my two demonstrated dink worthy situations so far: -Entering in a Lego sticker as a sumo competitor (JeffE) -Battery box thing on PipeRacers (Steve) I've been thinking hard about dinkness, and it's a vague accusation.

(...) Actually (Calum's not going to like this) I think that was a novel approach. Knowing that it's almost impossible for that 'entry' to cause an opponent to leave the sumo ring (unless it gets tangled in the opponent's sensors), that means the (...)

(...) If you read the goal as not lose, then you've read it wrong, at least here in Toronto. A long time ago, we suspected a competitor cheated in a sumo event. Perhaps that person thought the goal was to "Not lose". (...) That's just dumb. That's (...) (21 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I'm in. Currently there are two open slots for teams in F1. All it takes is 48 million and a two by four to enter. We can cut the two by four in half to make the two "car" team. Any one got anything they can mortgage for 48 million? Derek (21 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Sorry I wasn't clear. In most competitions, I think the 'not lose' is more or less implied. In C$, a robot will lose if it mis-drops a chip (and signals end-of-turn). Yes, I read that as "A goal is to not lose" I suspect most people who enter (...) (21 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
