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 (...)

| | | | (...) I need to amend the official rules: the ropes end 12" from the floor. I used that instead of 20" because the ropes will no longer be hung from a ceiling. 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)

| | | | (...) I thought the idea was we'd try the robots at different lengths of rope to see how they perform. I think it's important that competing robots use the same length of rope. 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)

| | | | (...) Steve's idea very much sounds like that "wall" we originally talked about hitting. Derek is right, the higher up you go the easier it seems to swing. 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 was just trying to expand on what Derek said. (not my idea) Having the robot hit the wall doesn't sound good for a couple reasons. 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)
