Hey there everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster... I have not seen any discussion lately about finalizing the rules for the proposed "Capture the Flag" event. Any developments to report? (23 years ago, 24-Apr-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) HI, welcome to the group. :) Geesh. If I had know that my laziness in posting "rules" to games would draw people out then I can sit and lurk forever.... well, not really. ;) Soon, I will get off my lazy butt and "finalize" the rules. I guess (...) (23 years ago, 24-Apr-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) <beaucoup de snippage> (...) mmmm.... that sounds great. One further stipulation about the size/gap... the 'bot must fit inside the gap. No overhang or nothing....just to make the contest interesting. Ben (23 years ago, 24-Apr-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

8 inch robot. 24 inch gap. Maybe thats exaggerating, but it would certainly be more interesting to watch. I don't want to see prefab 12 inch bridges as Chris suggested. That would be dead boring. At least make the gap bigger than the robot so some (...) (23 years ago, 24-Apr-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Since we're all putting in our 2 cents about the dimensions, here goes: 12 inch robot, 20 or 24 inch gap Has anybody actually tried to build a robot yet??? This theoretical debate is interesting and all, but until someone actually tries to build (...) (23 years ago, 24-Apr-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I haven't built a prototype for this, but from trying to build a soccer robot, an 8 inch cube robot is probably too small. In an 8 inch cube the RCX takes up a large portion of the space. I think we should stick with our usual 12 inch cube. I (...) (23 years ago, 24-Apr-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I have. after 2 hours of messin' around, the easiest soloution for me, (and to keep it in ONE RCX) was to creat a A/C robot, and have it push a premade bridge to the gap. even then it was still intersting, and I had not even gotten to the part (...)
