    entertaining spectators —Matthias Jetleb
   I've been thinking.... It doesn't happen often, so I thought I'd tell everyone about it... Given that Project X is mainly a "competitors" game, and not really all that interesting from a spectator's point of view, I thought it might be a good idea (...)

        Re: entertaining spectators —David Koudys
     (...) I *may* bring a quick caster or 2 and my mini arena for them to bounce around in. Whoever else wants to bring a 'bot with wheels and such, (even my R2 unit may make an appearance...) we could just throw them in the arena and see what happens. (...)

     (...) Are you going to put the details up for the service pack? I think I might try to enter the fray with a player design, if someone writes up the code... unless I get brave and use the mindstorm software.... Ben (22 years ago, 25-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
    
         Re: entertaining spectators —Calum Tsang
     (...) a) I'm really glad to hear you're interested. I think it's a good project to get started onto Mindstorms with and not too hard to get into it. b) I'm not going to put anything up in terms of a formal date, I think we may do a test session (...)

        Re: entertaining spectators —Chris Magno
   (...) I actually thought about doing this a while ago, and it was surprisingly a lot more work. for my robot at least, it would mean a whole second program, and I have actually used up 95% of all the 6100 bytes available on my rcx. So I agree that a (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

         Re: entertaining spectators —Chris Magno
     (...) big talk...... for someone who has YET to add a program. in the raw Byte code no less, OVER 2 rcx's BA it cant be done. Tell, ya what I'm gonna do.... to make it easier for you, I will run my bot (with 3 rcx's) and I will NOT use any IR to (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
    
         Re: entertaining spectators —Bruce Sheridan

You could use 100 RCXs with or without infrared and still never come close to beating me...My advice...take your very best (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
    
         Re: entertaining spectators —David Koudys
      (...) Do I even have to mention... 1st place, 2nd place, 1st place... (and train guy to boot!!) The way I see it, the only ones that can even come close to my record are Iain and Rob (and note how they aren't getting involved in this)... Dave walks (...)

          Re: entertaining spectators —David Koudys
       (...) Oh, and one more point for high tauntage factor--I'm doing the whole thing with 1 (one, uno, less than 2 or more) RCX, *and* my bot's not much bigger than the 32x32 baseplate. So there -- Nyaah Nyaah Nyaah!!! Dave Pretend I'm not getting into (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
     
          Re: entertaining spectators —Bruce Sheridan
      Hi Dave, You know, I was only going after Chris cause he started it (and of course, he deserves it in a major way)…but now you’ve gone and thrown that gauntlet down. Firstly, I’m not even sure if the rules allow me to discuss technical stuff with (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I was thinking about doing the x axis of my 'bot on train rails. Maybe I'll redesign my 'bot to do just (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
     
          Re: entertaining spectators —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) You already know this, of course, but for the benefit of those that don't... watch out for hysteresis... the train motor motion will need to be sensed independently. Still, what an interesting application if you do it! (22 years ago, 25-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
    
         Re: entertaining spectators -- trash talk —Chris Magno
     !!!GAME ON!!! (...) that's what you must have done when you coded your block stacker, if I recall it was you who showed up all forlorn and depressed crying that his RCX was broken. Geesh, It was ME who "fixed" your "broken" rcx by flashing new (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris…Confused as always…I won block stackers (remember a 9 block stack vs your 1 or 2 block stack)…Your thinking of that insignificant ‘get your blocks off off my side’ contest. I think Dave 'won' that one but, (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
