Hey all,
Just a couple of questions with regards to the upcoming competition:
a) We're scoring based on white and black blocks, and which side of the
playfeild the blocks are on. Can someone confirm that blocks contained inside
of a robot still count? What I mean to say, is that if you were to look at the
playfeild from above, blocks which lie within the [-shaped area that makes up
each side, are counted, regardless of wether or not they're within a mechanism?
Or must the robot expell all the bricks?
b) Starting point is anywhere along the backwall?
Couple of coments:
The 450 mm size restriction is very large. :) It's so large that I can't
physically build a robot that big. So, as usual (well - usual when I actually
build something), my robot will likely be tiny.
How do we plan to clean up the rice at the end of each game? I don't have a
dustbuster, but if I did, I'd offer that to be used for the day. Perhaps that
would work best? Just load up a new filter before game day, and then you can
suck up any pieces lying around, and deposit them back into the bin.
