I PROTEST!!!!!
if this was a real game organized by competent people, then the
following would have happened.
John G - Disqualified for re-building his bot once he saw that other
bots had a strategy to defeat his bot.
Ed- Disqualified for needing to use the Extra rope.
Vitali - Disqualified for thinking the posted table length of 60" was real.
Iain/Jon - Disqualified for an over weight robot
Dave - Disqualified for an over weight robot.
that would make me the clear winner over those who entered a bot and
DIDNT get disqualified.
All that counts is that I BEAT up your robot, and Derek's and Rob's.
and... I think someone else.
Would it kill you to post the graph?
:)
it was a good game. I agree with Derek, if we re-do this, then most
people would build a hook bot, and a winch. We would need to re-do the
rules so that those bots would either be useless, or people would find a
better secret weapon.
how fun would it be to have 13 people enter hooks. it would be a day of
watching tables be pulled together.
Good game guys. Thanks.
Chris
