[chbot] Possible Robo Sumo Practice Wed 21 Jan 6.30pm?

[Richard Jones]

Several folks have asked for rules for Lego Sumo, here are some we could
adapt for our use: http://www.chibots.org/drupal/?q=node/558
A key part of the rules is a 5 second start delay before moving to allow
the humanoids to move away from the ring.

It is a long time to wait until the meetong on18th Feb. How many folks
would be interested in a practice session? If I get offers of three working
Sumo Bots by Sunday evening, Lego or otherwise, I'll book the Science Alive
Seminar Room for Wednesday 21 Jan 6.30pm. If by any chance it is not
available I have reserved a fallback date of 28th. Usual gold coin donation
applies. I'll confirm whether or not the session can go ahead on Monday.
Naturally any number of observers would be welcome. 

You can download my simple Lego Sumo program from here:

Directions to the Seminar Room are on http://kiwibots.org

See you Wednesday if we get sufficient offers of Robots to proceed.
