Re: ROBOtic'05 : a new event

[Duncan Louttit <duncan@swallow.co.uk>]

Hi Everyone,

        

This is a
request for rule clarification; I may need a new rule 3!

        

For the
drag race, can mice travel anticlockwise instead of clockwise? This would
allow left hand wall followers to compete fairly with right hand wall
followers.

        

Regards,

        

Duncan
