Hi folks,

By traditional rtlToronto scoring, 2 points for a win, 1 each for a tie, and
0 for a loss, the rankings were:

1. Dave Koudys (Stoney Creek, Ontario)
2. Bruce Sheridan (Mississauga, Ontario)
   Ka-On Lee (Ottawa, Ontario)
   Trevyn Watson (Ottawa, Ontario)
3. Steve Hassenplug (Lafayette, Indiana) and Rob Stehlik (Toronto, Ontario)
LAST: Chris Magno (Etobicoke, Ontario)

Dave wins a very cool 10024 Red Baron, donated by Lego Direct.

If you tallied up everyone's scores based on the geometric tower height
scores, over the course of the day, the rankings were:

1. Dave Koudys ((2x6t)+3t+2t=31 points)
2. Bruce Sheridan (3t+3t+5t=14 points)
3. Ka-On Lee (3t+3t+3t=9 points)
4. Trevyn Watson (3t+2t=5 points)
   Steve Hassenplug and Rob Stehlik (4t=5 points)
LAST: Chris Magno (0t=0 points)

As a comparison, my Canon Elura40 camcorder or the Crayola marker that both
stacked 0t towers would garner the same rankings as Chris' robot using
either scoring method.

The tallest rtlToronto stack so far is a single 9t tower by Bruce Sheridan
at rtlToronto7: The Plastic Dust is Normal.

We might want to more carefully analyse the scoring in future games-With a
larger field of competitors, the spread in actual scores over the course of
the day is much wider.  My brain is shot right now, but the traditional
method allows for consistent robots to win instead in normal contests, but
in this game, due to the geometric scoring and difficulty of taller stacks,

Email me to get me your digital photos somehow. Thanks!

Calum

(...) Even though Chris' robot was next to useless (well at least he had a robot... pointing fingers mostly at myself), it was really nice. To me, it looked like a stylish miniature snow blower or lawn mower. The front of his 'bot was ok but if he (...) (22 years ago, 10-Nov-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

On the way home, I thought of a robot that was nothing like what anybody had, and could possibly be competitive... and more importantly, something that I could actually engineer and program! So... when are we doing this game again? -Greg (22 years ago, 10-Nov-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
