| | | This is kind of eerie. The final days of the MDP selection process has turned the robotics board into a ghost town. I expect a flurry of activity as soon as everybody has officially learned their results. One other possibility is that there are lots (...) (19 years ago, 27-Feb-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(I don't even know if everyone has been contacted) However, I'm pretty sure you won't hear much about what the lucky 100 are doing for a couple months.

Well, I'm mostly quiet because I'm just coming back from a set of robot games in Northern Indiana, where I was only able to enter two robots... and one of them didn't run at all due to a dead (& I mean DEAD) RCX.

I removed the circuitboard, pushed both battery clips down slightly, and rebuilt the unit. It works! The power (...) (19 years ago, 28-Feb-06, to lugnet.robotics)
