 | | Matter of time... —Steve Hassenplug
|
| | | I have a couple timing/handoff questions. First, when does a player's time start? Is it when the other robot/arbitrator presses the EOT button, or when they release it? Also, if a robot misses the EOT signal, will they lose right then, or will (...) (20 years ago, 26-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | on a related time note.... I was just reminded of the rules that says that not only are you limited to 3 min a turn. BUT the entire game is 40 min long!!! UGN!! that means that if i want to ply for every turn to the max of 3 min, then that only (...) (20 years ago, 26-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | | (...) I have to ask this question, again, because I don't think it was really answered last time. Is the 3 minute limit a hard limit (you go over, you lose) or is it just recommended (like the rules say) so, if you go over it, people start to point (...)

| | | | | | | (...) the rule seems to suggest a soft 3 min. -------snip rule---...--- it is recommended that the robot must complete a single move in a maximum of three minutes. ---...--- which is a piss off cause ~!! I !!~ want to see a HARD 3 min. (20 years ago, 26-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | | (...) From the Arbitrator's point of view, it tracks the how long each turn takes, but takes no actions based on that time. So we must watch turn time manually. Personally, if you go over the three minutes by a few seconds, I don't have a problem (...) (20 years ago, 26-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

It does this every time, because, it doesn't know if a program is there or not (better safe than sorry). The fact that you are getting this (...)
