         Re: rtl14 Ideas —Calum Tsang
      (...) I think there's a fair amount of interest in this one. We should try building a maze and seeing if it can be supported. I already have some pipe parts here, as does John. (...) Well, if you mean paying lots of cash for prancy weirdos dancing (...) (22 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
     
          Re: rtl14 Ideas —Iain Hendry
      (...) That's hard. But yeah it could be something like that. Race to the centre, pick it up, go back to start. That's not too bad actually. I'd rather see a competition for once that focuses on speed rather than mechanical complexity (ie, the drag (...) (22 years ago, 3-Mar-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

    (...) For what's its worth... I built the box. BUT it is just a box. there is now way to secure it to the playfield. so I we are willing to screw it to the board we will need some other box.... and weights. -- Chris (22 years ago, 6-Mar-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
