Personally, I'd love to see something like this. In addition to myself, I know of
at least four other builders who would be willing to travel the 10+ hours for a
"good" game. Of course, I'm not sure what really makes a good game...
While destruction can be fun and entertaining for all of us, it doesn't offer the
same challenge as C$ or P-X.
Did you guys come up with any good game at the post-event dinner?
It wouldn't have to be a "ready-made" game, like C$.
In addition to Derek's Programming and Presision Placement, it would be cool to add
teamwork into the mix. One idea would be to make a game where two robots work
together to complete a task, and the overall goal is to find the robot that works
the best with all the other robots.
Another idea would be an even where big is good. Normally, I don't like allowing
big robots, because requiring the robot to be small is usually harder. But, for
example, if the robots had to move something heavy, that could be interesting.
Imagine Project X with 5 pound cubes...

The simple ring that locked on the pivot was genius. If I had been able to participate I was (...) (19 years ago, 13-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
