I stopped by the MOAH display the last 2 Fridays and got to chat with many of the BAYLTC members. This is a great display, and a bunch of very friendly AFOL. Thanks again for making me feel welcome, and letting me run my train for a bit. Some of you (...) (21 years ago, 3-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.baylug, FTX)

| | Creating a GBC for a train layout
|
|
We were talking about this off line, and I'd like to continue this discussion on-line. We're trying to figure out how to make a GBC that looks like it should be part of a train layout. (...) Right. (...) The problem is actually getting paint that (...) (21 years ago, 3-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) Yes, I do. However I also only have a dial-up connection at the moment, so we'll see how long this takes (like, all day). I'll update here with deeplinks when availible. (21 years ago, 3-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) Yes, Steve's was the smallest, and fastest, and the only one that was completely on a 32x32 (and a road baseplate at that). It brought to mind a black cubistic turtle, and was the only one of the three that attatched to the board on the side (...) (21 years ago, 3-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) I'm not exactly sure the size, but it was smaller than the others. I think it was the only one that was attached to only a 32x32 baseplate. (...) It carries five cubes, checks three cells, and was somewhat fast. I'm not sure the exact time per (...) (21 years ago, 3-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) And just how small is your robot? Since I couldn't make it (I had to spend the evening with my evil step mother), I didn't get to see anything. If your robot is small, does it hold all the cubes or pick one up at a time while awaiting your (...) (21 years ago, 3-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

Well, we had a nice gathering in preparation for our Tic tac toe challenge. We there were several games played. Many of the games had a winning robot, while others ended in a draw. I think we all learned something. About half the robots are going to (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) Well - I actually timed my robot this afternoon. The average move is actually 5 seconds...and, it may be a little longer before I am done as I might put some "dancing" in the mechanism to ensure the cube is properly deposited. We'll just have (...)

At one point, it counted from 0 to 24 (when moving across (...) (21 years ago, 31-Dec-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
