It's not because I don't want to post. It's a little conspicuous having a
lugnet window open at work. An email client on the other hand makes it look
like you're doing work. :-) Plus I can spell check my messages.

Actually, I don't care about the straight line thing. I do agree with David's
original proposal that the string must be free moving through the robot at the
start. Plus we discussed the fact we didn't want someone to wrap the rope up in
some photocopier like pulley system before the start.

It's just me poking at the fact there's always something in the rules that
different from the original discussion. Last time the blocks went from 2x4 to
2x2. :-)

The only reason it stands out is you are discussing the setup, not the game-play
at that point in the rules.

Sorry I was pretty grumpy that I was up at 1:00 am, now I'm pretty grumpy
because I wasn't sleeping at 1:00 am. :-)
