For now, I think I'm falling onto the side of "no bonus". Mostly, I want this to be a tic-tac-toe challenge. I'm assuming that if we get a dozen entries for example, then there will be a broad enough range of skill levels that the bonus won't really (...) (21 years ago, 4-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) This is kind of tough. My initial thought was to "tip the scale" towards a robot that can not only play, but also clear the board. However, I doubt anyone will be able to build a robot, then go back and add-on the "Clear-the-board" feature. It (...) (21 years ago, 4-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) I'm really on the fence. I just think it may limit either the number of entrants, or the number of competitive entrants. On competition day I'd like to see many (a dozen?) competitive robots, not 3 or 4 that are head and shoulders above the (...) (21 years ago, 4-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) How exactly are we defining clearing, and are both robots going to be attempting such clearing at the same time? I have visions of the "clearing" phase being a place we can all apply our Sumo robots... Perhaps a "self-reseting" system should (...) (21 years ago, 4-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

Ok, let me pose this question. In our Tic-Tac-Toe game, Should we offer a time bonus (subtract some time) for a robot that can clear the board after the game is over? Assuming robots will play two games against each other robot, that means each (...) (21 years ago, 4-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
