As several of you know, I spent last weekend at Robolympics, in San Francisco... (URL) was a lot of fun.

I just received (and payed) an invoice from HiTechnic regarding my order of 2 EOPDs and 1 Ultrasonic sensor. It wasn't a verry good time right now, but... those are good to have.

(...) I was thinking that maybe the rules should allow the builder to place the cans however they like as long as they are on the pads. This way if a design requires the axle based handles to be on the sides rather than the front, the builder could (...) (22 years ago, 6-Mar-04, to lugnet.org.us.lrgoaa, FTX)
