Steve,
rtl will be doing this style of tug of war. we probably will not place
a "weight limit" with the understanding that weight is not always
better. besides we have the all encompassing "spirit of the game" rule.
The current draft rule set allows for a bot to race to the edge and
place a hook. OR, be sneaky and offer some resistance, then "let go" of
the rope, in the hope of having the other bot "fall"
As to a brickfest meet up. I just dont know. Im sure people could
enter robots by proxy, and or, modify robots to meet whatever rule set
you and indy come up with.
While RTL was liking the idea of R21 and some kind of blackjack game, we
all agreed that it might be too much of a challenge, and the current
pattern seems to be easy, then hard games. r21 falls in the cycle of "easy"
keep us posted as to what you guy decide.
