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"), correct?

To defend my honor (what little I have), I was taking my lovely wife out on a
date on the day in question. I was actually *not* that confident at winning,
because while mine is fairly accurate, it's still slooow. Faster than Kerby's,
but not by much.

Congradulations! But only needing two touches during the day works out to
only a 7.4% error rate on placing cubes - not bad at all. It sounds like a lot
of designs got a lot better over the course of this contest.

I doubt that. For one thing, I would have had to have shown up :|.

I know I will, as the weekend before I ran it at an event in Ann Arbor. It
ended up playing 50+ games against all comers, and was a big hit. Now, i need to
figure out how to trim the code, so I can move on to having it play other (more
complicated) games.
Actually, the #1 most popular feature was that mine would clean up and reset
itself after a game. I lost count of the number of times a parent asked my if I
could program their kids to clean up after themselves.
Any pictures on-line yet?

| 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 (...) (19 years ago, 20-Mar-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
