(...) I dont know Dave, DO WE... Meaning, do you? If the rtl portion is a go, are you going to actually set something up? I may be able to throw something together, but Im not 100% sure atm if my schedule is clear.

Hey all, Doug just e-mailed me and wanted to know if we're in for a show! It'll be two days at the International Centre (more details to follow) but it'll be Saturday and Sunday, November 24 and 25. Do we have something to show to the train (...) (17 years ago, 12-Oct-07, to lugnet.org.ca.obb, lugnet.loc.ca.on, 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)

(...) If it were me, this is how I'd want to do it. Assuming there are "legs" holding the bar, simply put a rope from one leg to another, about half way down. The goal would be to make the robot's rope touch the marker rope. Steve (17 years ago, 11-Oct-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
