Hey, SMART guys... I must say I really love your Crate Contraption. In fact, I like it so much, I'd like to steal the idea. Sort of. Let me explain... After Brickfest, I've spoken with a couple people about creating something for the Mindstorms room (...) (20 years ago, 7-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

Hopefully no one is expecting a SMART meeting this Saturday! I hope everyone kept informed by reading the newsgroup and know that it was last Saturday instead. The reason for the earlier time was that this weekend is Robothon, the annual Seattle (...) (20 years ago, 24-Sep-04, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

Oh, for the BrickHeap Wars competition, I also provided a small snippet of line-tracking code that teams could use if they wanted. The code isn't guaranteed to work, and depends on the geometry of your robot, but it's a good starting point if you're (...) (20 years ago, 21-Sep-04, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

(...) So far I've received notes from two people that they'll be bringing laptops. Is there anyone else? Ideally we need four. Also, a small change of location: we will be meeting in the Galileo room instead of the cafeteria. It's a much nicer and (...) (20 years ago, 15-Sep-04, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

There is a RIS 2.0 for $109.99 at Fry's. There is ONE ONLY. It is mis-marked. They honor mis-marked prices. Always pick through the pile when shopping at Fry's. They often mis-mark prices. Hmmmm......maybe it's intentional. (20 years ago, 15-Sep-04, to lugnet.org.us.smart)

It's only a few days until the next SMART meeting. We are planning on doing a BrickHeap Wars, but I still haven't had a single response from anyone indicating that they'd bring their laptop. The game won't work without enough computers. If you are (...) (20 years ago, 14-Sep-04, to lugnet.org.us.smart)
