One modification to the rules--your 'bot cannot touch the ground (...) (19 years ago, 11-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Both these rules would prevent my dad from building me a big solid tower that just hold my end up. -Greg (19 years ago, 11-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | (...) ya know.... a SIZE limit would have stopped the 5' tower bots. ~BUT~ it was MR. NO SHOW Iain, who asked for this. For what its worth.... all the types of robots were valid entries under the current rules. that means.. the GRAVITY bots, the (...) (19 years ago, 11-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | | (...) Sure, I agree that everything there was a valid entry (maybe not a valid "robot" by my definition of "robot," but we can argue that endlessly), but are the competitions about building an interesting and clever robot, or scanning the rules for (...)

| | | | | | (...) Well, there's a balance here. If we say, you have to use a motor, it rules out a number of interesting little "shrapnel-bots" which use a strategy that is simply to obstruct. If you say, have a certain size, then you rule out other methods, (...) (19 years ago, 12-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | | (...) So, yeah... we did it without too many restrictions and we had some interesting things. I wasn't smart enough to come up with a simple non-powered ring mechanism that latches on to the middle bolt and mucks things up for big strong bots, so (...)

| | | | | | (...) I get ya. Well, if we did it, I want to do it as a sub contest, eg, on the side the way we did marbles last time with DaveK. I think that went really well and Chris kept the parts to the BoP balance. If we are aiming for a "tougher" (eg, PX, (...) (19 years ago, 12-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I'm not saying that we should do a tougher competition, either (I thought we had some good ideas at dinner that night), but rather maybe competitions with a few more rules or requirements. Although I didn't enter (so who am I to (...) (19 years ago, 12-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
