Only people with competing robots should pay that 5-10 bucks. 3800 does sound like a nice idea! ummm... (...) (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. Maybe a real informal thing, sort of like the (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
