(...) We've been talking about this. Rock Crawling offers a couple interesting challenges. The first is to build a Rock Crawling truck, and the second is drive it. The problem is that most of us will be doing a great deal of playing/testing before (...) (17 years ago, 10-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) I agree. (...) Yes - do a higher is better scoring system...I, for one, will be less confused. We can then award bonus points for the design of the vehicle. 4WD, rear steering, and multiple types of suspension points (ie - 2 wheel suspension, (...)

I just had an idea about the Rock Crawling course. I was thinking about how we can make it hard for the good trucks, and possible for the not-so-good trucks. The answer is two courses. But not two separate courses, just two paths for each obstacle. (...) (17 years ago, 10-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) That's because you haven't built a rock crawler and experienced how much fun it is ;) I definitly think this should be an event. The biggest problem I see is finding/bringing things to make a course. John (17 years ago, 10-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) My vehicle does use 4 RC buggy motors. I have a motor drive assembly for each *wheel*. The drive assembly is outside the suspension components so no linkage is required. The vehicle actually uses 2 RC buggy receiver units and steering units so (...) (17 years ago, 10-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) Brian Davis is the competition coordinator for Brickworld's Mindstorms events, so he is the right guy to work with if you have suggestions, desires, ideas, etc. Glad to hear someone is lurking about :) B (17 years ago, 10-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) We're not sure, yet, if Rock Crawling will be on the menu for Brickworld. There will certainly be some robotics events, but we've not finalized a list as yet. Does Rock Crawling sound interesting? (17 years ago, 10-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

So . . . I've been lurking in your club's newsgroup lately and am wondering if this rock crawling challenge will be at BrickWorld for sure. Are there other robotics events planned? (17 years ago, 10-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) At this point, there really aren't limits on LEGO parts. Bryan hasn't posted (publicly) about his robot, but I think he's using the controller from the RC buggy for his, along with four motors. Both John and I have robots that look very much (...) (17 years ago, 8-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
