    Re: rtlToronto15 January issues —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) Would this mean then that robots would need to be able to lift guidewheels to clear branching points? That's how I read what you say about "grid", that there are tee/Y/cross pipe parts and not just bends. (21 years ago, 25-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
   
        Re: rtlToronto15 January issues —Calum Tsang
     (...) Yup. That's always been the deal with rtl15, to be able to traverse T or Y shapes. But previously, the rtl15 competition was to be one true path and the other path would always terminate. I'm suggesting we don't terminate, but instead offer (...) (21 years ago, 25-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
    
         Re: rtlToronto15 January issues —Jeff Van Winden
     (...) So Calum you are suggesting that the shortest path would be the marked path, but if a robot goofs up, and turns the wrong way, it can continue, and take a longer, route that will still lead it to the critical path. Calum, are you being (...) (21 years ago, 25-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

      (...) Wouldn't it be useful, since you could avoid the other robot, and not have to bash your way through it? (...) Mmmmmm, sleep. "I too will go home, for sleep" :) (21 years ago, 25-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

      (...) That's the other benefit of having secondary paths-not reducing the game to sumo. A single decision up front to go onto an alternate path allows a competitor to avoid a sumo like game. Calum (21 years ago, 25-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

     (...) Sad thing is I learned CPM techniques in first year, but the best implementation I've ever seen is in our GPS lab, where they put on the whiteboard whoever's behind the 8 ball. It gets people working FAST, and no need for CPM charting either. (...) (21 years ago, 25-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
    
         Re: rtlToronto15 January issues —Derek Raycraft
     (...) I think you've got a good idea here. If we build it right, we wouldn't have to rebuild it to have a different maze for subsequent rounds, we could just mark different paths through the maze. I don't like the idea of having more then one (...) (21 years ago, 26-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

   (...) As Calum announced at the BrickFest event, (I believe) the plan for Pipe Racers Pro is the addition of y's and tees. -Rob. (21 years ago, 25-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
