  Re: r10 Project X -- Rules update
 
(...) At the risk of being wishy-washy..... I like this. It makes sense, and it address rob's concern. (right?) example: Time = time in seconds + 1 sec for not perfect block + 3 sec for "wrong" blocks. (these penalty times are based on what i figure (...)

  Re: r10 Project X -- Rules update
 
(...) I guess no one is going to cheat, but if my bot just say it is done at 0 sec then my score would be 24 sec at worst. So the penalty time for wrong block need to increase - I suggest 6 sec. Also how are we going to count the overall score? Do (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

  Re: r10 Project X -- Rules update
 
K, here’s the thing—if we do head-to-head competitions, there are only 2 ‘bots involved at a time. There will be one winner and one loser. Just like the block sorting ‘bots--every ‘bot will eventually play every other ‘bot in subsequent heats. The (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Well my bot is currently doing 78 sec, if it is reading every blocks correctly. :p This mindstorm firmware language is super slow and I may need to learn LegOS. (23 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I only ran it a few times though since I still got other problems to sort through. (...) No, the long time come from my slow (...) (23 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: r10 Project X -- Rules final
 
Well, After a lot of soul searching, I have decided that A decision has to be made as to scoring so that we can all build our robots and tune as required.... and the winner is.....
