It looks like a giant sawhorse. It's about 8 feet long, and the top bar (...) (17 years ago, 9-Oct-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Wayne, I have a few questions: -Can the robot start ANYWHERE along the length of the rope height, or will all robots HAVE to start at the height of 20" from the bottom of the floor? -If the new goal is not the "wall" then how will we determine (...)

Is this a deal breaker for anyone? Feel free to fasten your robot anywhere along the (...) (17 years ago, 10-Oct-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Otherwise I'm tying my robot as close to the top as I can. Shorter the (...) (17 years ago, 11-Oct-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

With some re-codeing, I can get my bot to swing at any height, and so far the bottom of the (...) (17 years ago, 11-Oct-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I must admit, the thought of Chris' robot tapping the wall, and smashing to the ground does sound fun, it may (...) (17 years ago, 11-Oct-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
