  Re: Mating Game - moc up
 
(...) my idea is that a BOX is a VERY good strategy, ESPECIALLY if I were to have KATE and Abby, and ROB each enter one. A Magno would be sure to score then. a play field of box's is not a game i want to play. if i were to do BoP again, i would not (...) (19 years ago, 20-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

  Re: Mating Game - moc up
 
(...) no, thats different. a size rule, still allows you to EXPAND a tower, if you were that clever. a no touch the ground rule, would disqualify any bot that broke, or had parts brake off. but this game is the past. lets move forward to scoring.

  Re: Mating Game - moc up
 
(...) I was swayed by Calums arguement at dinner-- if the rules for BoP were changed to-- your 'bot must fit within the end of the beam and the 1 foot mark, as well as be under 2 feet 'tall' at hte start of the match. This would not preclude the (...) (19 years ago, 20-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

  Re: Mating Game - moc up
 
(...) I have ideas, but when you have two 'bots not facing one another, it's next to impossible for them to face each other unless there's communication between the 'bots--I mean, I can get my 'bot facing the other 'bot relatively easy, but if (...)
