    rtl 20 - mating rules —Chris Magno
    so i guess the slience of the group mean we are ok with the last statements? -12" cubed -as yet to be decided HITW input WITH several stud width as part of design. -5 min game -10 bots on the play area at once -multiple entries will be discouraged, (...)

     (...) Sure (...) Sure (...) Sure (...) Hmm, this might be a little cramped. Lined up perfectly the robots take 1/6 the total play area. I'm picturing a 8 bots jammed in a corner and one or two bouncing around in the remaining open space. But it's (...) (19 years ago, 23-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
    
         Re: rtl 20 - mating rules —Chris Magno
     (...) 10 was just a number. we can change it on the day (...) my GUT FEEL on this is: it allows someone to make and test a robot that is best suited to mate with the second (or third) robot entered thus giving them an advantage i can be convinced (...)

         Re: rtl 20 - mating rules —Derek Raycraft
      (...) I guess it comes down to what's more important, the competition or getting together to watch robots mate. Without even considering bots working together, a game where dumb luck is important, running more then one bot definitely increases your (...)

         Re: rtl 20 - mating rules —John Guerquin
     (...) Agreed. Play it by ear. Maybe have a couple of rounds, with increasing number of bots in the field? (...) Let's say I build 2 robots, and they are designed to find/mate with each other easily. So they mate. And have a smoke afterwards. But (...) (19 years ago, 23-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

        Re: rtl 20 - mating rules —David Koudys
   (...) If we can maybe think about limiting the size to 10 x 10 x 10, or even 8x8x8 (though that might be tough), there'd be much more room on the playfield. Though if the 'bots are 12x12x12, we'd just have less 'bots at one time--smaller orgy... So (...) (19 years ago, 23-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
   
        Re: rtl 20 - mating rules —Chris Magno
   (...) WHY? at max, 10 robots at 12" will only ever fill at MAX, all lined up in a row, just over 1/10th of the play area. thats TONS of room. no. i think we can leave it at 12" knowing that only you and Steve will build to the full 12" (...) i think (...)
