         Re: On track for rtlToronto14 —Bruce Sheridan
      The word ‘Demented’ springs to mind. Chris, you’ve been on your own far too long! If your math is as good as your spelling, I’ll take that 80% with a big fat grain of salt. As for discussions about RTL ranking, YOU should be very very quiet. (21 years ago, 20-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

      (...) Bruce, if you're concerned about Chris's dietary health you should be chary of advocating big fat grains of salt. While "grain" is a key component of the food pyramid, "fat" and "salt" should be only taken in moderation. You wouldn't want Kate (...) (21 years ago, 20-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

        Re: On track for rtlToronto14 —Ka-On Lee
   (...) Still test building various possible digging arm designs. 2' x 2' is a large area to cover. Also tested some codes that let the RCX talk to the Spybot via IR. Can I assume the interference rule also cover the Spybot? (21 years ago, 20-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

        Re: On track for rtlToronto14 —Steve Hassenplug
   (...) Looking at the documentation, it appears there is a whole lot more information available via IR than what is possible with the RCX, like direction and distance of the 'sending' robot.
