I had an idea for a way to mount the C-4 board, but I wanted to know what people
think.

The general idea was to remove the blue "legs" and build a LEGO replacement,
instead of trying to come up with a way to secure the original legs to the
ground.

That would even make it possible for someone to build the board mounding into
their robot.  (if that was allowed)

It shouldn't be too hard to come up with a way to attach to the board.  Like a
pair of vertical beams (beam-plate-plate-beam) and a cross-brace to actually
hold the board.

What do people think about removing the original legs, and replacing them with
LEGO pieces?  Does that "change" the game any?

(...) As an outsider with no standing that seems like it ought to be disallowed, because if two bots that had the board built in were to compete, what would you do then? But a LEGO base seems nifty! (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

A couple things came to mind about the rules. It was suggested that if a (...) (21 years ago, 1-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
