| (...) Dave, Here's your chance to take another shot at the Tug-o-War. The rules are not exactly the same, but you should be able to take some of the things you learned, and apply them at BrickFest.

Besides, Steve, now that everyone will be using the inside out tyre(Tm)(Pat Pending) (C) (1) idea that I came up with, how much fun (...) (18 years ago, 2-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Additionally which line is the line you have to pull the other robot across to win the match? The (...) (18 years ago, 2-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| (...) Seriously, I think the tires were too sticky. When the bot met with something "immovable" (like an anchor bot) then the bot would STOP. I really dont recall, but I think, none of my loss's were do to actually being PULLED. (I expect to be (...) (18 years ago, 3-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

If it was possible to stall the motors, and the tires weren't slipping then your speed would have been reduced more, increasing your torque until you got to a point just before they would slip. -Rob (...)

I had the torque, with the worm to 24, and it was driven with the slower port of the RC motor. OFF TOPIC!!! (calum dont read (...) (18 years ago, 3-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I built one of these for my king of the hill robot which (...) (18 years ago, 3-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
