So...

I've spent about half an hour every night this past week building octagons.  I
hate Lego geometry with a passion now. :)

I was wondering who else was building for this contest?  I know Chris is
obviously gung ho about it...but anyone else up for some block transferring fun?

no one here but us scarecrows...

WOW dave, it would seem we are following the same paths.

I built a Kilough Platform, it was nice, had great "plans," then, poof.
     I discovered that it would not take the weight of my EOAT, or the 6
Transfer Openings.

So, I, like you, have opted for a A/B skid steed bot, but wanted to
"jazz it up" so I built my first ever Adder Subtracter.

Let me tell you, ADD/SUB's are a "strange" beast.  It took a while to
"get it" but once i saw it working, it does track a straight line.

heck, my original code that I posted with my prototype some months ago,
slotted right into my platform and "worked"

AS WELL, with a 12" SQUARE bot, i can still get my 6 TO's around the
rim,  heck, i could put 8 if i wanted too. but I am leaving the "front"
for the LX sensors and the EOAT.  (1)

1. which is SO SIMPLE its not even funny.  (no batterys, NO RCX, and
only 3 moving parts)
