| man, it's quite here, today. What are you people doing, working? I know Calum doesn't want my input in the rules, but that's really not going to stop me. Just so he doesn't get too mad, I'll try not to mispell any words... While sitting here at (...) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| (...) This is problematic. It forces the arbitrator to have to signal as well as listen. I think the arbitor should just start it's clocks when the first robot signals. So because red goes first timing will start when the red player signals it has (...) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

This is probably the most common grammatical/spelling (...) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| (...) If it's decided that the arbitrator does not automaticly signal, then a touch sensor could be added to the signal line, which starts the match. Then, the lucky person going first, doesn't also get 1 free turn. But, actually, I think it could (...) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| (...) You just have to signal the first robot to start. Possibly through hitting run, or whatever method you choose. It then signals the completion of its first move. This starts the clocks. There is no advantage to sitting around contemplating an (...) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

In mechanical switches, you can get some "bounce" when opening or closing the it. Like (...) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Your turn is automatically 2 seconds long. It's tricky we need to (...) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Then, when one signal is received, the control lab sends out a signal on (...) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
