    Re: TTT board marks or not —Calum Tsang
   (...) The bot should start not in the airspace that is denoted as common, which in the case of the C4 robot, was the baseplate that held the game board. For us, it's the Tic Tac Toe grid, but not necessarily the page borders. (...) Well, you don't (...) (18 years ago, 14-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
   
        Re: TTT board marks or not —Ralph Hempel
   OK, stupid suggestion coming up... Why not print a board that is guaranteed to fit in every printer and then fold (or cut) to that outline? Ralph (18 years ago, 14-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
   
        Re: TTT board marks or not —Rob Antonishen
   (...) Not stupid - That is pretty much the same idea as registration marks, but better. The "board" could just be a simple 2x frame that could sit on, or have a folded paper board laying inside. Something like this: (URL) would also give the bots a (...) (18 years ago, 15-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
   
        Re: TTT board marks or not —Calum Tsang
   (...) That was my first inclination, to build some sort of registration frame or holes to attach the paper to the robots. That would make sense, but the concern was not to make it too complicated. Calum (18 years ago, 15-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
   
        Re: TTT board marks or not —Rob Antonishen
   (...) Here are two options a board with 4x4 lego spacing, with a grid and frame shown: (URL) and the PDF of just the board and corner registration marks: (URL) and a board with 6x6 spacing, with grid and frame shown for clarification: (URL) and the (...)

        Re: TTT board marks or not —Ralph Hempel
     What about a piece of masonite backed whiteboard that can be purchased at Home Depot, with tape on it and then use whiteboard pens and an eraser? The board would have to be cut to size, and might be way more complicated that you'd like. The nice (...) (18 years ago, 15-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
   
        Re: TTT board marks or not —Derek Raycraft
     I like the 6x6 size. I think the frame is unnecessary. I only need to be aligned with the board, my alignment with the other bot is irrelevant. I can use the alignment marks anyway I see fit. Derek (18 years ago, 15-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
    
         Re: TTT board marks or not —Calum Tsang
     (...) I like the 6x6 cell as well. But 1 wide thick lines or 2 wide? I'm not sure the frame is required either, but the alignment marks certainly are. Calum (18 years ago, 15-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
    
         Re: TTT board marks or not —Derek Raycraft
     I don't think the line needs to be wide, because you don't need to read it. But one stud wide is plenty wide enough to detect if you think you do. Derek (...) (18 years ago, 15-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
    
         Re: TTT board marks or not —Calum Tsang
     (...) The reason why I think we might want two is because of even versus odd spacing. I can't explain it, I just think an odd line space would make it more difficult. Calum (18 years ago, 15-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
    
         Re: TTT board marks or not —Derek Raycraft
     As long as it fits on the page it doesn't really mater to me. I think it looks better smaller and I was going to have my bot draw the board for playing with the kids. Derek (...) (18 years ago, 15-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

         Re: TTT board marks or not —Calum Tsang
     (...) So, that's something I want to ask--should there be a dedicated time during the day of the event which is a demonstration time? Calum (18 years ago, 16-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

        Re: TTT board marks or not —Rob Antonishen
   Not able to leave well enough alone... here is a centered 5x5 space board, with the alignment parks making a 21x21 square: (URL) and the clean PDF with alignment marks: (URL) This would align the centers of each square with a stud. -Rob A> (18 years ago, 15-Aug-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)
