(...) I think the idea of an entrance fee prevents (well discourages) the "lurkers" from participating. And it certainly discourages the less established robotic builders from entering also. But, on the other hand, I can see Rob's view.... spending (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) well....I guess it doesn't matter to me since I am the "official scorekeeper", and I guess that would make me the most impartial person. That being said, a nice set like that would probably encourage the competitors to win by all means, (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Absolutely. There will NEVER be an audience fee for rtlToronto events. It's a hassle I don't want to deal with. But a contest participation fee, well, yeah, that actually would be kinda cute.

Sorry for any misunderstanding I may have caused... I certainly didn't mean charging the audience anything, but when I said entrance fee, I meant the competitiors pay a small amount to enter, which goes towards the prize. (...) My thoughts exactly.
