So,
we find a marker.
we agree on 2 games (each bot is and X and an O)
we agree that the game board is going to be a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of
paper, with a printed board from a PDF.
the bot space is the L shape around the paper. you can have a bot over
lap the paper to start. or at the END of your turn
we will use the touch sensor on your bot to signal end of turn
we will time the event BUT will use humans and a stopwatch. I really
like dereks computer dacta controller BUT if we have the same number of
people join, then that will get unwieldy and timely
anything else?
Calum, do up a rules page, and make the PDF. cause you know if ~I~ do it
you will hate it, and just end up re-doing it anyways.
