| (...) Just a suggestion from an 'outsider' (non-RTL person) - how about robots that have to climb the rope, then back down to the ground, and back to their starting spot, or to a common "finish line"? This would make multiple challenges: Find the (...) (21 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

In defence of me, I've let the leaders know when I was going to be involved, or not going to be involved, in a competition well before hand. Don't 'dumb' things down (...)

| (...) Where can one 15' of cotton sash cord? I checked Canadian Tire, Home Depot, even Walmart with absolutely no luck (only poly rope at all of them) I did find 100m package at my local Home Hardware...but they wouldn't sell just a piece, and I (...)

Probably the most fun I've had at a competition yet. Thanks for running the game (...) (21 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
