DPRG mailing list archives: [DPRG] February meeting

Sun Jan 21 19:59:47 CST 2007

Hi Eric (and others),

I have two questions regarding the contest on Feb 10th:

* Will we be able to place our robot so that the target is directly in front
of it?

* Will we be able to physically measure (like with a tape measure) the
distance from the starting point to target?

I got my entrant running today.

> Following the technical presentations, there will be a new contest.
> To enter the contest, your robot must be able to move under its own
> power.  The course will consist of start and finish lines and a target
> mark on the finish line.  Robots must start completely behind the
> start line and cross the finish line under their own power to be
> eligible for a prize.  Rankings will be determined by the distance of
> closest approach of the center of the robot and the target point.  The
> course will be flat, with the start and finish lines up to 1/8 of an
> inch thick on top of the floor.  The course will be approximately ten
> feet long
>
> I hope to see all of you and your robots at the meeting.  If you have
> any question about the contest, please email the list ("reply all") or
> ask me at one of the RBNOs.
