Ok, for once I'm not trying to stir up trouble... :)
rtl15 is about 3 days away. If you're building a C$ robot, it's too late to
change your strategy.
Otherwise, it's NOT too late to start building a marble sorting robot. :)
I'm curious if anyone will 'leak' any information about their robots. You know,
something for Larry to think about for a few days.
For example, I think my robot is unique in the fact that it doesn't have any
pieces that move vertically. I'm not suggesting that its simple, but no LEGO
parts move up and/or down.
Anyone else have anything interesting? C$ OR marble?

BTW, I'm not trying to steal ideas. My robot are done. I wish the contest was
tomorrow. Well, except for the fact that I'm not in Toronto, yet.

| (...) Well, since I have concluded that I cannot get away for the weekend in order to attend RTL15, I guess I'll de-lurk and describe my C$ robot. I would send the 'bot up with fellow NELUGgers Dan, Jen, and Dave, but it's NQC -- Not Quite C$. My (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| My bot is basically a Project X bot turned on its side. It uses every rack I own, and I still need more. I got my father to write the game engine, so it will beat everyone else. Also, it uses Duplo. (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| (...) Nifty. Me only having one RCX and two light sensors, that wasn't even considered as an option. :) The dipstick idea mentioned is brilliant, though -- wish I'd thought of that. As long as it isn't too slow, anyways. For my contribution, I'm (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
