Over at the last rtlToronto dinner meeting, Chris announced he's down to
27.6 seconds.


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 out.

depending on how someone solves for the X, the anti X time is just a
marker for comparison.  you might have a bot that can solve the X in 30
seconds and think that is not fast compared to 23, BUT if your robot
solves in a different sequence, then you just might win over other
robots.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, bring your robot with whatever time you have.
Your anti-X time is only valid against other robots solving the anti-X.
the real contest that day will not have the anti-x as a start pattern.

Sorry, Bruce, you can not hard code that solution into your robot.
