----------------------------------- shorthair Mon Apr 26, 2004 3:26 pm Shorthair Is setting a world Record ----------------------------------- My robotics team have made a submition to Guiness about seting a new world record , It will be done in August this summer , if sucessful there will be an annual event to try and beak it. I dont want to give deatails but il tell you a little about it ( i dont want anyone beating me to doing it , so the main topic is secret ) We will be doing something withing the cn tower , somthing to do with hte stairs :D :D Thats all i cna say for now , when i get our submission back il post the whole concept of what were doing , We will set a time record and a new record . Just thought iid let y :D know ----------------------------------- Paul Mon Apr 26, 2004 3:36 pm ----------------------------------- Im guessing its a robot that would climb all the CN tower stairs. Either all the way up or all the way down, or both. ----------------------------------- Dan Mon Apr 26, 2004 3:38 pm ----------------------------------- not much of a world recored if you need to keep it securte to be able to do it the best :roll: ----------------------------------- jonos Mon Apr 26, 2004 3:48 pm ----------------------------------- I would like to petition against the existence of this thread. This is needless spam and not recognized as valid General Discussion OR Spam because (using shorthair's definition) it does not concern computers or computer science in general. It concerns a robot that goes up stairs, and whether or not it has a computer on board, that computer is not an internet and user friencly capable computer and therefore together with this topic, does not fit the criteria of being General Discussion or Spam. ----------------------------------- Paul Mon Apr 26, 2004 3:49 pm ----------------------------------- Who cares, its shorthair. ----------------------------------- jonos Mon Apr 26, 2004 3:54 pm ----------------------------------- Who cares, he's a hypocrite. ----------------------------------- Catalyst Mon Apr 26, 2004 3:56 pm ----------------------------------- To put it bluntly no one cares ----------------------------------- jonos Mon Apr 26, 2004 4:01 pm ----------------------------------- Of course no one cares, but I can at least prove myself to be true in what I say. ----------------------------------- shorthair Mon Apr 26, 2004 5:05 pm ----------------------------------- i help you get stated in bl itz , ispam with you ,i become your friend , and you do this to me your , a real good guy jonos BUT YOUR WRONG IS COMPUTER SCIENCE. Luckily right after i posted , iwas given full clearence to set a determined date for the record ,so i can now release details I will be the first person to geta robot to climb the cn tower , my rules are that it must touch every stair and must be artifically controled ( pre programmed) no human contact during the record ,it will be a first and a timed record , eachyear ( f sucessful ) we will have a contest and the winner takes claim to be the best Have a good evning Compsci , my best regards , oh and jonos -10 bits for spamming , and disrespecting the community ,no need for that A word of advice , dont jump to conclusions JOnos , assumptions just make yourself look like an ass ----------------------------------- Paul Mon Apr 26, 2004 5:12 pm ----------------------------------- Woot I was right. ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Apr 26, 2004 5:15 pm ----------------------------------- hah, doesn't seem soo hard...

LOL, but then you'd have to program the robot to only be decent, and then improve as it is cheered for, or get worse if it is booed. ----------------------------------- Paul Mon Apr 26, 2004 6:00 pm ----------------------------------- Well, ur school can do a Krispy Kream doughnut fundraisor like ours did. ----------------------------------- shorthair Mon Apr 26, 2004 6:04 pm ----------------------------------- our robot is going t obe given to the cn tower ,so they can display it IM GONNA MAKE ME DO IT , if its the last thing i do , and i gladly accept compsci as our sponser , my team was all for it being a part of the robot world. Welcome To the Team ----------------------------------- jonos Mon Apr 26, 2004 6:14 pm ----------------------------------- Thanks for the help in Blitz and all, it's just that you didn't really want to spam with me, you wanted to control my spam. I created a thread as a joke asking who changed my avatar and then it got way out of control, starting with your post. In your telling me to stop spamming, you forgot to mention all the other 200 other threads that were "needless" spam. I guess spam is up to interpretation, but I don't think you should have gone so far as telling me what spam I could spam the spam area with. You can take all my bits if you want, I'm trying to be more socialist while on these boards, everyone must be equal, and my rather upper-middle-class amount of bits is not inline with my recent ideas of because more socialist in my thoughts and actions. ----------------------------------- shorthair Mon Apr 26, 2004 6:25 pm ----------------------------------- jonos i spammed ith you , but then i was given a power of modoeratior , i cant set a bad example , id love to be a relic again and crap the boards , but thats all over now , its time i smartened up im interested in keepiong compsci clean , and giving people good information about technology ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Fri Apr 30, 2004 7:54 pm ----------------------------------- i help you get stated in bl itz , ispam with you ,i become your friend , and you do this to me your , a real good guy jonos BUT YOUR WRONG IS COMPUTER SCIENCE.
