I'm buying wood this weekend--I have a *brilliant* plan to make the arena
totally portable ;)
Going over to my uncles little wood shop to assemble, and I prob'ly won't
paint it at all before the upcoming match--only have 2 weekends before said
match, so painting's prob'ly out.
Though if I were to paint it...
Walls = flat white
floor = flat grey
6 inch border = flat black
starting 18" x 18" squares = whatever -- mebee 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 blue, 1 green
Anyway, working on it this weekend...
Then building a kick heinie 'bot that will actually collect, stack, and
unload blocks--I've done it twice before, I can do it again--unlike anything
Chris or Bruce have done...
