| Re: [robotics-71] Next Contest Suggestion - Pretty much what I was thinking, with the exact position of Objects A & B being variable per run.

| Re: [robotics-71] Next Contest Suggestion - Sounds great!!! How do you suppose we start? By that I mean would the object be placed on the field prior to staging your bot? After you stage your bot but not after it takes off? Or Stage your bot in the direction of the randomly placed object to purpose | Patrick | May 2, 2008 |
| Next Contest Suggestion - For the next contest I propose: (using football field metaphor) Reuse the 4x8 playing field, with the addition of white lines down the sidelines. Make an obstacle consisting of a regular 12oz beverage can, empty, painted white. Area A is the beg | awolfe | May 2, 2008 |
