June 2009 - a day to remember for RSSC. The super-dooper line following contest is here. As usual we announce some rules, which we end up breaking each and every time, and ... we don't care. We make it up as we go along. This time we wanted to test the endurance level of our bots. Not for wimps - at least not wimpy budget batteries.

Here are the rules for the Hallway competition.
The July hallway competition had a nice turnout: 3 candidates were willing to face the challenge, including Alex Brown, Mr. Hallway competition himself (a good way of doing really well in a robot competition is to write the contest rules yourself and make them fit for your bot - works every time).

We announced a minisumo competition for our February 2010 meeting, and I think people must have mistakenly understood it to be an MINI Minisumo competition, because only 2 bots showed up, and one of them wasn't even a regular RSSC member. A 10 year old girl showed up with her dad and a LEGO MIndstorm robot, and ... she beat the pants of our club representative.

the competition
In our June 2010 meeting we held what turned out a min-pre-trial-draft Hallway competition. Two people were brave enough to enter a robot: John Waters and another gentleman who I forgot to ask his name. If you read this, please identify yourself.
