It's great that rtlToronto gets a wide variety of people building for their
competitions, from kids to women to PHD's...
Here's my take on the orifice issue--it would be next to impossible for robots
to mate unless there's communication between the two, or random chance that they
just happened to bump into one another with the receptacle and block meeting.
I'd like to take 'random chance' as the sole method for winning out of the
equation.
If SteveH wants to enter a box that's 10 bricks high, with no motors or sensors
or such, that's a valid strategy--just like the tower 'bots and gravity 'bots.
I'd think, however--looking at the history of 'stationary 'bots' on the 8x8
playfield--the 'factory' for block sorting, and the--what was it--where the
walls fell down for marble sorting... All were 'valid strategies', but I
believe they lead to the oft-used phrase, 'Hey mister...'
:)
Hopper has to be 10 blocks high and fit within the otehr dimensions for the
'bot. What you do from there--a la block delivery and finding other 'bots is
entirely up to you.
I may have something worked out for the Hobby Show as a demo--I could bring the
4x4 arena and we could do some competitions...
Ideas ideas...

| (...) I agree with this, I think that by doing it this way we can get a lot of variety of different robots, and ideas. By defining small hole into which the bricks have to go into, I think that it limits the designs. I think we should be able to (...) (19 years ago, 20-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
