The 2 walking robot contests will be held at the October meeting.
Both will be run on a shortened Quick-Trip course. The distance
>from Area A to Area B will be 8 feet rather than 16 feet; the turnaround
areas will still be 4 feet deep.
<p>There will be 2 races, 1 Way (A to B) and Round Trip (A to B to
A)
<p>These robots are intended to imitate walking creatures. Walking
creatures do not have rotating body parts that touch the ground.
The robots should also not have rotating body parts that touch the ground.
<p>Proposed scoring system:
<p>Remote start
5 points
<br>Get to Area B
15
<br>Return to Area A 15
(Round trip only)
<br>Best time
20
<br>Second best time 15
<br>Third best time
10
<br>Touch a wall
-5
<br>Stop when finished 5
<br>Return to same spot 5
(Round trip only)
<p>See you at the meeting on September 8 at Bill Priest.
<p>I'll bring the courses; will we have a space to set them up?
<p>Who's bringing the name tags?
