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?  Assuming robots will play
two games against each other robot, that means each would go first once when playing
the game, and each would go first once when clearing the board.  The robot would
have to clear its pieces off the board in both games to get the bonus.

I'm open to going with the majority.

I spoke with Greg, he said "No bonus"
I said Yes
John: No
Kerby: Don't know

(...) 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)
