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'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 scout........

(shrug) i remain on the fence.


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.


I say lets place the flag randomly AFTER your bot is placed in the start
square.


c) Flag Top.  Currently a single full bushing.  Anyone against replacing
this with a pulley wheel for easier gripping/indexing?


don't care, make it a timmy mini fig for what its worth.


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.



even thought it is not in the spirit of the game I think a "baby gate"
or expanding arm is a valid way to solve this game.

(...) He he I am not quite 'super' yet. I just believe that there is no need to use motor or sensor to deploy the bridge. (22 years ago, 28-May-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

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 (...) (22 years ago, 27-May-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
