Several of those comments don't really make sense, unless you've been spending
time at http://www.24tooth.com

hmm.  you're jealous, aren't you.

Well, I'd love to see you enter your rtl 13 robot.  I think trying to stay on
the opponent robot would be pretty cool.

Of course, considering it wouldn't stay on a 2x2 ft square stationary box, I
find it really hard to believe you could make it stay on much smaller,
odd-shapped moving robot.

Well, I guess it did do the chicken dance on Wayne's robot for a few seconds...

Actually, I wanted to make a robot like that.  (one to climb on the opponent)
But I couldn't come up with a reliable way to make it work.  It would only work
as well as yours, and *I* don't think that's good enough.

I did end up with several interesting entries.  One is a spinning robot.  Well,
actually, it uses a couple Hailfire droid wheels (
http://www.peeron.com/pics/inv/custpics/x784.jpg ) that rotate around the entire
robot, but it's pretty cool.

And then there's Team Spybot.  A pair of robots that work together to find and
team-up on the opponent.

Overall, I have several 'fun' entries.

And like Dave said, after every event, I go home with ideas on how to do it
better next time...

(...) Calum, thank you. well done. Now all the people's can bask is the glory that is a GREAT robot. Mine. I like the nickname you entered for my robot. I think I'll send my robot FedEx to steve slightly modify the code and enter it in his sumo (...) (23 years ago, 17-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
