Hi Eric (and others),<br><br>I have two questions regarding the contest on Feb 10th:<br><br>* Will we be able to place our robot so that the target is directly in front of it?<br><br>* Will we be able to physically measure (like with a tape measure) the distance from the starting point to target?
<br><br>I got my entrant running today.<br><br><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br><br>Following the technical presentations, there will be a new contest.
<br>To enter the contest, your robot must be able to move under its own<br>power. The course will consist of start and finish lines and a target<br>mark on the finish line. Robots must start completely behind the<br>start line and cross the finish line under their own power to be
<br>eligible for a prize. Rankings will be determined by the distance of<br>closest approach of the center of the robot and the target point. The<br>course will be flat, with the start and finish lines up to 1/8 of an<br>
inch thick on top of the floor. The course will be approximately ten<br>feet long<br><br>I hope to see all of you and your robots at the meeting. If you have<br>any question about the contest, please email the list ("reply all") or
<br>ask me at one of the RBNOs.<br><br> -- Eric Sumner, DPRG President<br>_______________________________________________<br>DPRGlist mailing list<br><a href="mailto:DPRGlist@dprg.org">DPRGlist@dprg.org</a><br><a href="http://list.dprg.org/mailman/listinfo/dprglist">
