I will try to make it there, if the weather let me.  I got some questions and
suggestions:

How do we define 'finish first'?  I think the robot need to play some sound to
declare that it is done.  Just making the X pattern alone is not enough since
the robot may be still scanning the area it hasn't visited.  Of course if the
robot declare victory without actually making a complete X pattern then it
should not have any bonus point.

I guess we will have a little PC program to generate the random pattern?

The owner need to mark a certain square at the lower left square of the
pattern.  Otherwise the owner may rotate the starting pattern to suit the
robot's design.  I think we should leave all the thinking to the robot.

Can I build stuff over the plate wall and call that part of the robot? ;)

What happened in rtlToronto9?  I cannot find any photos on brickshelf and there
were no talks about it at all.

In my opinion, the robot could keep scanning the board and whistle dixie, (...) (23 years ago, 2-Dec-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
