  Stiring up excitement.
 
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.

(...) :) It used to be people talked about what they were doing all the time. Then suddenly people got all competitive. It happened about two years ago, I think around ProjectX. Suddenly AntiX times were being posted and it got really uncomfortable. (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I though about that, but I don't have enough light sensors for that. I haven't finalized a name for mine yet, but Singer is the front runner.

  Re: Stiring up excitement.
 
(...) 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)

(...) holy crap. Well, I don't want to give away too much about other people's robots, but Greg (driving up with me) is bringing up a unique robot he calls "Dipstick". :) (21 years ago, 28-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Chris, this is a fantastic idea!!!!! with 7 cybermaster touch sensors you could use this system to scan the entire board at once. thus leaving a lot more time to use for ply based generating. actually. if you listen to the video of NOT steve's (...)

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)

  Re: Stiring up excitement.
 
(...) 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)
