(...) Do I have to mention how much I am loving bylaw B??? Whooohooo for the two X chromosomes! Awesome management skills there, I am re-organising my list of "Most Favourite Lugs" as we speak and Laflrc just took a huge leap in the list. Janey "Red (...)

(...) So to clarify, if the games were a draw and no touches were needed, the winner was the one with the lowest time. But if even one touch was needed, a slower robot that was better at block placement would win (because it didn't need a "touch"), (...) (18 years ago, 20-Mar-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

So, we've been playing with Tic Tac Toe for a couple months. Of course, at the same time, several of us have been working on other stuff, as well. We finally had our Tic Tac Toe event yesterday. It was a very cooperative event. Every robot played (...) (18 years ago, 20-Mar-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) well, I sit corrected. I ran this VERY CRUDE program, and it would seem that a STOP TASK should stop the task mid task. feel free to mess with var x, to see it the resuts change. program generic { var a = 0 var b = 0 var c = 0 var d = 0 var e (...)

(...) as a mindscript guy, i cant say i've had this problem. i ~think~ the STOP TASK command stops the task at the END of that task. not mid task when the STOP was called.

(...) Actually, John, I think I may be able to explain the problem. You have two tasks running at the same time. For the most part, the processor will switch between the main task, and the scan tast. So, the order of execution would be something (...) (18 years ago, 3-Mar-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

Well, I've had some time on my hands, and being totally unhappy with my 3T robot I decided a re-build was in order. Probably an 85% - 90% rebuild. About the only thing that wasn't touched was my cube magazine & the dropper mechanism. Everything else (...) (18 years ago, 3-Mar-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
