I hope the legs of the tables are collapsed and resting on the floor (thus
the tabletops are 3-4 inches above the floor, not 2.5 feet)


(evil grin)

oh, I think the tables will be at full height......  just like we did
for monkeys.   we have not lost a robot to the  games yet.

sure we lost a few to some stairs and streetcar tracks; but we don't
talk about that in public.

:)


Can I get a modification to the rules please?  Can the 'bots fit within 18
inches (1.5 feet) instead of 1 foot *or* multiple RCX's per robot with no
penalty.  This may be my first attempt to build a multi-RCX 'bot for what I
have in mind.


OH for the love of Gawd.......  I just finished BEGGING Bruce to accept
the one RCX rule.  I had to offer to be NICE to him, and a sum of $$
changed hands.  Then YOU come out and ask....... argh, rass-a frass-a


If not, no worries


OK, if i read what you are asking correctly, then I am, very flexible on
size, but I do want to stick with the one RCX rule.  BUT BE FORE WARNED
this might just be the last ban on multi-rcx games.   I have a "feeling"
that from r12 onwards it will be unrestricted Lego with no penalty.


I have to ask, if the gap going to be 8 inches, where is the challenge
in making a robot 18 inches??  that's why we choose the 12 inch maximum
size.  I'll listen to your arguments though.

(...) We are, of course, "conveniently" ignoring MY robot. :) (...) Well, I have an idea that should fit within the 12 inch rule. Dave, remember that Chris said "fits within a 1' cube". This means that your robot could be up to ~20 inches long (only (...) (23 years ago, 29-Mar-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
