I was just about to say. If the general direction of the "core group" is to this ultra hard stuff (Connect 4 programming), it scares me. Because when I'm building I get discouraged, and stop, because it's just too hard. IE, the rice game, project x... Come to think of it, I honestly can't remember the last time I built a robot. :( > Then I guess newcomers like me will be losing interest in being involved. Not just you, I've felt pretty distant from the past few competitions as well. I think I just complain too much. :( I tried building a robot for this last competition, I really did.

(...) I don't understand why I keep hearing about Project X being hard. It's not "easy", but it's one of the easiest game I have participated. I think prj. X and bridge crossing had the highest number of contestant, and most of them were successful. (21 years ago, 19-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
