 | | I broke my leg...
|
| ...so I probably won't be there this Saturday. If I do make it, it will be solely as a spectator. My first no-entry event since rtl6! Oh well. I had a somewhat interesting battery box idea, but that was all. Actually its probably good for me to take (...) (22 years ago, 11-Mar-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| Geez Rob, I hope it was more interesting than my full spiral tib-fib that required an internal metal brace installed in my tibia with a power tool affectionately known as a slap-hammer. Yes, the sounds of power tools coming from an orthopedic OR (...) (22 years ago, 11-Mar-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| (...) Ouch! Take care of yourself Rob--know that we'll be here for you. And skipping this one isn't a problem--there'll be another 'bot competition around the corner.

| OK, a few things. I've never broken a leg; Rob, I'm sorry to hear about your misfotune. What I dont fully understand is.... I never knew you built all your lego robots with your feet. I guess a cast on your lego would make it tough to build now. (...) (22 years ago, 11-Mar-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I mean, I know someone outlawed 'anti-x' postings but there was some good tauntage factors for that (...) (22 years ago, 11-Mar-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
| | | | | Match Elimination Rules
|
| (...) It's called single-elimination. It's pretty cruel for an event like ours, where people's robots often malfunction or just get unlucky -- do that once, and you're out. You can consider round-robin in several groups, then the top bots compete (...) (22 years ago, 11-Mar-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| (...) Oh my... Your story is much more gruesome than mine. Thankfully my break is pretty clean, so no surgery or power tools were required. Sometime the similarities between surgeons and construction workers are striking. (...) Well, I fell down my (...) (22 years ago, 12-Mar-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
