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?


I may have mentioned this once or twice--multi-rcx!


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.


Whatever, if it's on the center table, put it in the center.  Can we then
start our robots anywhere on the starting tables?  if so, I could place my
'bot right across from the flag and press Go.

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.

The only thing for me is the multi-rcx's :)

(...) I will enter with a single RCX. This game is almost do-able with a single scout. (...) A pulley wheel would be nice. With this design, a bot don't even need to use a sensor to find it. It only need run around and use a pair of rotating fingers (...) (22 years ago, 27-May-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
