(...) I rendered it in LPub, and it came out the same (yellow). I changed the color from "Light-Green" to "Green" and it looks right. And, you may want to look into "multipart" models. It would let you draw ONE cube, and place it in the model ten (...) (19 years ago, 10-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

I guess you guys discussed the T3 board while at Chibots. I agree, the extra 2 studs around the perimeter would be a good thing. So after changing my prototype robot last night to work with the extra area, I will be making the changes to the LDraw (...) (19 years ago, 17-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) ... (...) The baseplate should be green. The crosshatch plates should be gray, because that's the most common color in the Mindstorms set (for plates), and it can be seen as different from black & white (the cube colors). The other parts don't (...) (19 years ago, 18-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) With this being said, I've re-done the T3 board in LDraw. You can see the latest version here (when it goes public) (URL) The basics: baseplate-- green, cubes-- white & black, surround-- black, crosshatch plates-- gray If anybody sees a (...) (19 years ago, 22-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) Someday I'll have to learn LDraw (or more likely LDD at this point). Very nice work John. It looks like it's one brick and one plate high? (...) I wish it was symmetric, but that can't work unless we make all the cells 6 wide. One point - we (...) (19 years ago, 22-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) LDraw is actually much easier to start using than I thought. The interface is a little cumbersome, but nice. The lego pieces practically snap into place (but not the technic pins & stuff, they're trickier). I have only scraped the surface of (...) (19 years ago, 22-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) No need to do that. My prototype sits completely behind the board. It doesn't extend along either side of the board. Speaking of which, I finished up the controls last night. I've just got a little bracing I'd like to do then it is on to (...) (19 years ago, 22-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) My concern with this approach is that your robot needs to use an output port and an input port just for communicating with the opponent. I haven't designed or considered my solution to the competition, but I might want my ports for other (...) (19 years ago, 29-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) Feel free to suggest options. This method actually only requires one open sensor port. As John pointed out, that port can also be used for a touch sensor so a person can play against the robot. Or you can use the port for other things, while (...) (19 years ago, 29-Nov-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
