Re: ball moveing up and than going down agein

Ok heres how it works...

1) Throw the ball
2) Quickly hurry across and hope to beat it to the landing point
3) Attempt to catch the ball without breaking any thing
4) Repeat Steps 1-3

If that doesnt work... giant vaccum cleaner with aloooot of suction

You forgot

5) And don't score any points because that's not a legal hurdle.

(It is left as an excercise for the reader to find why.)

definition of hurdle, ball must hit the floor or another robot before again coming in contact with the original hurdling robot. qed

WOW!
Well, another even year, another ball game. This thread is probably a lot more relevant to this year's game than 2006.
