OK, why must RTL member always try to make these games to be more
difficult than they really are.
Trevyn. here's, the scoop.
-we take the play field
-we fill the inverted "hill" with rice.
-inside the rice we hide 20(?) black and 20(?) white bricks.
-the play field is divided in half along the seem.
-within 18" build a bot that starts anywhere on your half, touching the
outside wall.
-build a robot that can put positive value bricks anywhere on your half,
and not have negative value bricks on your half.
this means that
-ONLY BRICKS in the "C" shaped portion of the play field will be counted
(for or against) your score.
- that any brick in your robot IN the RICE PIT will not be counted.
- we will allow robot to steal your bricks and deposit bad bricks on
your half
- if you have bricks in your robot and your robot is OUTSIDE the rice
pit then that counts to wards your score.
FYI we don't give a rats aorta about the rice. the rice is just a
medium to mess up your gears and make the game more interesting. That's
why I don't want to enclose the 2x4 brick.
lastly, although we understand that there will be rice all over the
place, if you build a robot that intentionally throws farther than it
needs to, then you will be responsible for cleaning up the mess. to be
honest if you build a robot that intentionally puts rice outside the
over all play field then I'd rather you not enter the robot. if you
make a mess and don't clean up the mess right after it is made, then I
will ask you to leave. by mess I mean stuff on the real floor, rice on
the play field we can get with a small brush.
I also read your post about making the brick more box like, and I'm
going to interject with the idea that rtlToronto is not about making
games easy.

if you want an easy game, find a lug that dose sumo, or line following.

if you have not figured it out by now, the reason I capitalize CERTAIN
words; is cause its my way of trying to STRESS those words.

| (...) I was actually more concerned about rice gumming up the works in a bot (like Bruce said) than about penalties. I don't see why there should be any penalty for bringing rice out, and as you said, it would be hard to measure the rice. We'll just (...) (22 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
