Well, there are rules in there: Fit a rope through the robot such that: At the start of the round, the rope can be freely pulled out of the robot without moving it No knotting, tying or modification to the rope is allowed before the start of the round. Do you want another rule to say "don't use a photocopier like pulley system"? Or is the first okay? I'm always constantly in a battle to try and make the rules light. Chris and I were always of the opinion it should be like "five rules and a handshake". Some folks for some reason feel the need to show off their brilliance and poke holes everywhere, but I'm not sure I want to counter that with lawyerly text to cover every possibility. > 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 Yeah, it's called editing. That's my call. There's lots of stuff MISSING from the original discussion too, but no one ever says anything about all the other material I have to write in. If Chris were to write rtlToronto rules: uh were having a game-- tug o war rules -each robot dose what it wants > The only reason it stands out is you are discussing the setup, not the game-play > at that point in the rules. You have a point, I suppose. Calum

(...) Might I suggest a vague rule, stating your intent. Such as "Robots should not grasp the rope, or alter the rope, making it easier to grasp, before the round begins". Then, at the event, you can do the usual "if the crowd thinks you're grasping (...) (18 years ago, 5-Apr-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
