^^Great, itll be just like FIRST robotics; first we will loiter around for
15 minutes while an IT guru does something so we can connect. And every
fourth battle someone will randomly glitch out and the battle will be
ordered replayed. I can hardly wait. Can we also ban all 2.4Ghz gear? That
Actually, we see a random glitch out every battle, but it's not the
electronics, it's the humanoid operating the electronics ;-)
The Tri-Pact Battlefield Management System (TP-BMS) will eliminate all
such problems ... and we do mean eliminate!

Yes, indeed. The good ole days when all we had to worry about was
cooperation between two U.S. and Soviet computers intent on destroying
the world with nuclear weapons. Nowadays, there are over 1 billion

The Forbin Project! Good movie and one of my favorite book series. In the
second book we find an Earth at piece being run by the AI created by the
old US and Soviet computers. For a non-violent entertainment, the AI
converts the old human Naval warships into remote controlled fleets for

: [TANKS] Re: Remote kill switch
This is where a league rules have to be determined as to how many tanks are to
be in a battle. Its not hard to come up with a remote control, 10 or 12
channel switch, that could be individually installed into each tank (up to 12
tanks).. Here is a 12 channel
Way back in the stone age, my doctoral thesis was on the design of
fault-tolerant electronics. A lot has changed in the 25+ years, but
reliability theory hasn't changed much since Roman times when the
historian Juvenal coined the phrase Sed quis custodiet ipsos Custodes?

All excellent points. At our current mobilization level, a hobby
standardized kill system is a moot point anyway. Besides, the Cromwell's
remote kill system has already been tested and validated. I just have to
make sure Marty's van is parked at the correct spot when something goes
wrong!

For the record, I must note that the out of control examples cited by
both Mr. Tyng and Rocket Man were both operator malfunctions. In both
cases, the RC systems were working as designed :-)
To my knowledge, in 10+ years of battling, we've never had a situation
where the tank was running
Then we need to solve the correct problem.
I propose a remote-controlled device be attached to each operator
with the capability to remove said operator from the control process.
For testing purposes the phasers should be set to Stun.

This is something I'd like to see but it needs to be expanded to a global
remote to kill all tanks in an event. Though our tanks are supposed to
have external kill switches, the fact is that I doubt any of our battlers
could easily shut their vehicles down (manually) while it was running full
Let alone catch up with your monster at full speed? I run marathon, and 7 mph
is a healthy speed in cross country!
