Let me see now,

Rob, who keeps himself above the tirade of the masses (and who will probably
blow the doors off the rest of us--again)

Iain, who is a genious when it comes to cartesian 'bots, who delved a little
into this forray

Chris, the main instigator of the banter, but has yet to produce a
functioning and/or winning 'bot of any sort (but they look great--'specially
when you get those pneumatic pumps and such going...)

Bruce, who made wonderful block stacking 'bots (and from whom I snivved a
few ideas for my 'bots)

and little ol' me, who has a good time just building with *all* LEGO ('xcept
pink!)

Is Derek, Steve and others entering 'bots?
AND ME! (If I can build an EOAT that works.....) I've got three different
designs the one I brought to dinner a few months back (the three fingered
one) one that is based on what Jeff E was talking about... Of course I cant
get it to grab and lift properly (it usually grabs one side faster then the
other and flings the block away) and the final design is one that has
potenial... but requires some more design to work..... DOH!!!

and then I can have some fun coding!

enough ranting...

used to be..now it's mired down into basic mud slinging...

So i pronounce the smack down over and done with--let's get on to bigger and
better things...

*pause*

hmmm....

*pause*

k, i got nuttin' bigger and better.

I'm going to MLCad my grabber arm tonite, and then I'll probably POV-Ray
that aforementioned arm and see what happens.  I wanna make it better.

I MLCaded before, think it's here:

specifically the grabber mechanism.

I'm actually getting a wee bit excited about the upcoming event.  15 days away!

I'll try to get to dinner tomorrow night--as I said, I'm attending a
concert, but was told that it starts at 8 p.m. so I may have some time to
drop by before.

Oh, and my accuracy went up as well.

Watch out Dave…I hear that once in a while he actually gets one in the right
square.


Bruce, Do you even HAVE a robot yet?????

(...) That's 8 people thus far (btw, what's EOAT mean anyway for those of us who are anti-acronymincon) which would make it very easy to schedule bouts. Oh wait, just remembered that Mario and Calum are entering as well. And Kai-On (I hope I spelled (...) (23 years ago, 7-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
