 | | steering at Rtl 8 —Rob Stehlik
|
| | | Hi everyone, Just had an idea about the robots at Rtl 8. I really want to see something other than A B skid steering. Sure its simple, but it makes for a choppy 'etch a sketch' look to the robot when its driving. I don't know if this is intended to (...) (24 years ago, 24-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | | (...) The show is okay, it's pretty fun if you tape it and fast forward only to the robots. It's not worth setting the timer for (unlike West Wing or a new Scrapheap Challenge UK, or Survivor (due to peer pressure)) but still reasonable if you're (...)

I am so busy with LEGO, Everquest, and work (work being, of course, last and only there so I acn buy LEGO and subscribe (...) (24 years ago, 24-Apr-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
