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?

(...) It just seems like we would probably be handing 1st place (or the top few spots) to builders who had the time & resources to build 2 rcx robots or 2 separate robots. I'm not sure we should do this. Yes, most people who are likely to (...) (19 years ago, 4-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

  tic-tac-toe bots
 
I know alot of you guys are focusing on Chibots right now but... So I actually felt like building last night and was thinking of tic-tac-toe.
