without that random driving around factor might seem more appealing. Maybe

tic-tac-toe, or maybe something similar.


One of the things that so far has made it harder than C4 is you have 2 axes of
movement that you have to be accurate on where C4 you really only had 1.

Yes, the logic is significantly easier, but actually building the robot is quite
a challenge.

One of the reasons why I wouldn't want to do 3T is primarily because we did a
similar mechanical game called ProjectX.  We even needed higher resolution as we
demanded people to mesh the ends of studs into each other to score a point.

That and I think (and I'm talking out my rear here) the game is deterministic
based on who starts, right?

But Vitali is right--we do too "harvesting" games where you drive around.  I was
thinking of maybe rope ladders or something.  Maybe that marble balancing game
with (gasp) line following.  Guess we'll discuss AFTER rtl20.
