WELL, I'd go in. sure, I'd toss in 5 ot 10 bucks. What ever we do, it
should be a low key kind of event. once you introduce prizes then the
rule of engagement become a LOT more important. and you would need
official impartial Judges. AND if I enter a bot then i cant be a judge.

I agree, it was WAY cool to be able to hand out a lego prize. what I
would be afraid of is if it ever got "big" then we would have to really
become more official. (e.g.. if someone wanted to "sponsor" a prize
then they would have every right to have clearly defined rules so as to
show what was fair for all)
As it stands right now, for my robot, the gripper is "off board" but
other parts of the but almost hover over the first row of blocks. this
is sad BUT i just cant make my rails any longer...... I CANT!!!
so would my robot disqualify???? who makes those decisions??
i nominate......
