 | | Is Sumo in or out? Please make it "in"! —David Schilling
|
| | | I'm wondering what the status is with what events will be held at the February competion? I know that there's been some discussion on cancelling the Sumo event, but unless you can come up with something equally simple both to explain and build for a (...)

(1) It was very fun, especially *because* there was so large a crowd cheering the robots on. Remember, (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

|
| | | | | | | | (...) Hmmm... I can see both sides to this dilemma. Similar to Iain, I am no fan of pressure. When you spend as many agonizing hours over your robot as you do, it becomes a big attachment. You surely don't want it to disapppoint. After the last (...)

I go for the challenge and whether there's 5 people or 5 thousand, to me it doesn't matter. I find the people who (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | | (...) You know, I'd rather it stay reasonably small at around 100 people or less. The largest we've had is 70+ and that's already a litle large. I like it when people can go up to Jin or Rob and ask them how their robot works, and that those folks (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

There's been some discussion on other issues, which are important, but not immediately so, as they don't effect the next competition anyway. What I would like to know is: (...)
