I was thinking about some of the event problems for rtl9 and we have a note saying the ladder is about 3 feet from the ground. This is going to cause a lot of trouble for people who are going to crowd around to watch. Anyone mind if we move the (...) (23 years ago, 16-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I would be ok with this, provied it was done by placing the ladder on tables. This way the monkeys would be 5-6 feet in the air, but the drop would only be 2-3. Also we should keep people back, so the monkey owner can move down the ladder with (...) (23 years ago, 16-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Were you talking about having 5 foot legs, or just putting it up on a table (with 3 foot legs)? I dont see that its really increasing the stakes if its on a table. (...) (23 years ago, 17-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I just got an email from Bruce Sheridan (who's building the ladder) noting the finished ladder is 31.5 inches from the floor, so putting up on the table is probably what the plan will be. :) Calum (23 years ago, 17-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Originally yes, I was thinking of five foot legs (which would raise the stakes), but since Bruce has already built a 3 foot leg unit, I guess we'll just do as you say and put it on a table. I'll be posting Bruce's photos online tonight. Calum (23 years ago, 17-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I would assume that if the room we rent has tables, it would also have chairs. We could use the chairs and some caution tape or similar to keep people back. One advantage of moving people back is that more people will get a better view. I (...) (23 years ago, 17-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

We need an arena like robot wars/battlebots :) maybe just duct tape lines on the floor and a sign saying "Please stay behind the line"? and of course, repeat that verbally every 5 minutes...
