"In my mind a robot that needs 2 rcx to make one tower  is only half as
good as a robot that can do the same tower in 1 rcx."

Sorry. I just wanted to bug you dual RCX users. I guess I succeeded in
bothering Bruce :) I wasn't trying to change the rules. I'm surprised Chris
didn't jump on this, since he is the one who said it :)

Whoever said that was clearly wrong...Coding complexity increases with the
number of RCXs.

Yes, probably very true. I have had my second RCX for over a year now, and
still haven't tried communicating between them. I really should do that some

Just teasing,

(...) see, this is just the kind of mis-quoting that got me in trouble at U of T and the stupid Varcity. What kind of a "reporter" calls me at my home @ 7am and asks questions about St. Mikes policy. the best i did was GRUNT... next day the papers (...)

(...) Whoever said that was clearly wrong...Coding complexity increases with the number of RCXs...a good robot is much more than just an extra motor or an extra sensor. Should we change the scoring to be based on number of ports used? This would (...) (22 years ago, 16-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
