Titled: The Mating Game R-20

Build a robot to fit in the usual 12" cubed size rule.

Robots will be playing on the 8'x 8' play field.

At some point soon, Dave and the group will agree on a standard for
accepting standard 2x4 bricks.  (we have to finalize ~IF~ we will plate
and tile the bricks to make them more manageable)

Much like my idea for the GBC, we will need to agree on a standard
hight,  and ???? for accepting the bricks. (we need a good clean name
for these bricks)

you robot will be allowed to carry up to 10 (TEN)  2x4  bricks of your
colour.  (I already called BLACK)

Your robot must be able to ACCEPT brick from another robot, you do not
HAVE to give/push/fire/launch/eject your bricks if you do not want.

points will be awarded thus:

For every group of bricks of a colour IN your robot, you will get 1
point. (this prevents a robot from dumping all 10 bricks into the first
wiling bot)

For every group of bricks of YOUR colour in another robot will get you
one point.

so if you have 1 red brick, and one green brick in your bot thats 2
points. if you have  2 red, and 4 green, thats STILL 2 points.

you can have as many receptacles, AND brick brick shooters (we need a
good word for this) as you can cram into the 12" size rule.

On the day of the game, we will run as many robots as we feel we can get
on to the play area at once.

so to summarize, the object is to build an autonomous robot, that can go
forth, and accept other 'bots colour bricks, AND get as many of YOUR
coloured bricks INTO other bots.

hhmmmmm.

Call me dense but I don't get it.

Is there some sort of communication (IR) that the bots need to use?
Or is this supposed to be a mechanical type affair?

I would assume that two bots would have to "come together" somehow but
can't image a mechanism to assist.  Maybe once the standard is defined
this will make more sense to me...

well, dinner was a real fun time. there were robots, and lively conversation, and comments, and smack, and... oh ya, food. the waitress was a real sullen hottie as well. We have decided on a game. ---...---the game-------- Titled: The Mating Game (...) (19 years ago, 17-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
