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 (...) (19 years ago, 2-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

It's really too bad that the use of non-Lego sensors and the like is frowned upon for 3T. I think I could get a little more speed out of my robot if I used John Barnes' new motor drives and at least one RC Buggy motor to get the robot to the board. (...)
