Hi folks, I need some commentary on a few issues, as I'm going to book the room in the next few days for August 17th, 2002. a) RCXes. Currently we're at a single RCX rule. Does anyone feel that this contest might require two RCXes, especially since the flag can be anywhere on the middle table? b) Random Flag Placement. Do we want to put the flag anywhere or just in the center of the center table? Since we've had a very bad track record of finding objects and locations in rtl, Iain suggested today everyone might just run over the flag instead of search, detect and manipulate the flag. c) Flag Top. Currently a single full bushing. Anyone against replacing this with a pulley wheel for easier gripping/indexing? d) Robots not going across. One person emailed and asked if it was okay to stay on your home island and grab the flag remotely. I'm of the opinion this is just as hard as crossing the chasm (ooh, irritating business buzzphrase!) so it should be allowed. Calum

17th is good for me Multi-RCX (in case you had any doubts!) Flag in the center of the table Pulley wheel or another tire on top No need to cross the table...object is to lift the flag (I'm not convinced that I agree with this one because we really (...)

(...) I'm at odds with this. It was my(?) idea to tout the 1 rcx rule so that I could justify a NEVER AGAIN 1 rcx rule. but if this need to be a multi rcx game..... on the other hand Ka-On the super lego guy claims to be able to do it with a (...)

a) Chris, why not make it a "NEVER AGAIN 1 rcx rule, effective immideatly"? What's the big deal with limiting to 1 rcx anyway? If some one can do it with a single rcx (or even a scout), well more power to them, one more thing they'll have a right to (...) (23 years ago, 28-May-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I have no problem with the date. (...) I'll go with one RCX. (...) At the beginning of each match a flag is always placed in the centre of the middle island. Competing bots start in opposing corners of end islands. The goal of the game is to (...) (23 years ago, 29-May-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
