  X-Bot times
 
Hi everyone I'm just wondering if anybody is willing to post there times? Is 40 seconds still the fastest? Wow that's fast! I can't seem to get the accuracy down. I refuse to use touch sensors too. Phil :) see ya next weekend! (23 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Over at the last rtlToronto dinner meeting, Chris announced he's down to 27.6 seconds. Derek later mentioned he's estimating a ~20 second completion time for his design if everything works out. Of course, Calum's Topiary Garden(X) will (...) (23 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) From what I've seen threading in C is nasty. At least Java was written with multi-threading in mind. Its still not pretty but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

(...) OK, first off, I really was trying to be discreet and i only told Dave. if other over heard than that is not announcing. second, since we are now all in the open, I am down to 26.6. lastly, Bruce made an observation that Calum and i hashed (...)
