(...) It's a good point. For one thing, for anybody who wants to use a light sensor to "look" at the cells, the bottom would have to be a standard color. And on top of that, each board would require nine 1x1 ties of the chosen color. Tough. (...) (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) Nudging the cubes was part of the original discussion as I remember it, with the idea that it would be used *if needed* for the *first cut*. Ultimately, I think all the robots should function within the tightest spec possible, which is why I (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) Wait a minute... You guys are willing to accept a human "nudge" of a cube as part of the spec, and you call adding tiles making the challenge easier?? I guess I don't see a human nudge as an acceptable part fo robot operation. Especially when (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

Well, in the very first iteration of the board proposal I actually did have tiles in the bases of each square. But Steve had me take them out because he didn't figure anybody would have that many tiles. I'm willing to defer to everybody else's (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) True, but... I guess my main concern is that as it stands, everybodies can work (I think) with an occassional nudge or human touch to "correct" a cube. And we said that would be OK, for at least the first trial. I don't see a reason to make (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) Well, there was one robot that didn't have this problem too much. The one picture of a cube mysteriously perched on edge next to a board is not doctored - *somehow* my robot just clipped the cube as it left the board, rolling it out of the (...)

In the posts regarding the get together for 3T, it was mentioned that all the robots had a few issues getting cubes to sit flat in the holes. I have spent a lot of effort to tweak my drop locating method so that it hits the holes perfectly. What I (...) (20 years ago, 7-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
