Welcome to the club. As of thursday night, mine was running the anti-x

FLAWLESS, not the virtual catapult that started to show up in rounds 2
and 3 and rendered the thing completely useless thereafter.

I really liked your gripper... I thought I had taken a picture of it, but I
must not have... Anywone else have a picture of the retro wonder??

This is a combined function
of motor speed and timing.

Like you said, timing is pretty consistent, but motor speed defenitely
isn't. It depends not only on the voltage, but on the load placed on the
motor. If you need accuracy in positioning something, either use sensors, or
hard stops. With hard stops as a reference point, you can just drive the
motor a "wee bit" too far, and know its position with certainty. Couple this
with a belt or clutch gear, and you are all set.

I am now attempting to assess where I would really have stood had it
worked as it did before, and is working now. The only patterns I can
remember are the anti-X and the Stealth Bomber. Could someone please
list the patterns that were used?

Anti-X - 29 seconds - 5 Perfect, 3 good = 65 points
Steath Bomber - 34 seconds - 6 Perfect, 2 good = 70 points

000x
x00x
xxx0

I don't remember the others.
