By the same reasoning, you could do whatever you want with the string--eg, move it to the other side, straight back again in the middle. My rationale for putting it at 2 inches for both competitors was to give a common place to start, same as getting everyone to start with the rope in the middle of the table. After that you could tug it up, down, left or right. > Calum, why is the robot on the right side of the table on the wrong side of the > line. The robot on the right side is losing. Don't be like the right side robot, he's losing badly. When I drew it I thought, "some obsessive compusive geek is going to complain the right robot is in front of the line". Then I thought, ah, whatever. Why should I be the obsessive compulsive one? Chris doesn't think about stuff like this....I should be free and happy like...Eric Sophie or something... But then I realize it's because then I'll get a post at 1AM saying there's something wrong... Calum
