Hey folks, Out of curiosity, who is working on a ministacker? Despite a looming thesis, I actually started playing with ideas last night. Calum (20 years ago, 11-Jan-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) If you promise to build more, I will lend you as many RCXes as you want. (Well, up to 3) That offer stands for everyone here. God only knows I don't do anything with them, except for douse them with milk. Calum (20 years ago, 11-Jan-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I am. I spent a chunk of time over the holidays working on my block eating mechanism. The rest of the robot is coming along. 8x8x8 is kind of small, but not unrealistic, even for a dual RCX robot. Dave: What is the maximum gap in the joint (...)

(...) Hey Rob, We're going with the 8x8 field, not the 4x4. I dunno how smooth the joint is on the 8x8--I think the center part is good 'casue it's got the piano hinge under it, but out to the edges, where there's no hinge, there's a bit of a lip. (...)

(...) I got confused by that. too. The rules say pained corners, and using Dave's playfield, plain plywood, 8x8. I thought Daves was 4x4, and painted grey. Thought RTl's was 8x8 painted grey... what is it? -Rob A. (20 years ago, 12-Jan-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
