(...) Yeah, okay, it's confusing. Blame Chris. (for no reason) rtlToronto3 was the first robotics contest. 18-3 is 15. That's all. Calum (20 years ago, 28-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Maybe one should start by asking all the people who have entered past block-stacking events... Then, ask Dave if grabbing a 2x2x2 cube is harder than a 4x4x4 cube (used in past events) From my experience, I'd say block stacking is NOT an easy (...)
