Black tape?!?

Over dinner (missed you, Iain!) we agreed that the usual 8' x 8' wood border,
which is painted white fwiw, will be there. If the boards fit in my Subie, I
will pick them up from Dave next weekend. And then I will work out how to get
the boards and 2 people to the game on the 24th.

We also discussed the meaning of the word "retain", and the most sensible answer
was that if someone pulls on the robot, the can must come along. So if the robot
simply backs the can into a corner, it has not retained the can.

Hope that is a reasonably accurate summary of what we discussed!

(...) Argh. I just wasted my entire evening then, building a robot that would have qualified based on the webpage, but now not. Grr. ...I guess that's my punishment or Karma for not showing up. :) -Iain (16 years ago, 10-Jan-09, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
