Even though it complies with 3.i I'm sure there are some ESes that would penalize it as a violation of the spirit of the rules.SluffAndRuff wrote:I don't recall if this has been discussed before, but what's your take on programming 9.9 second delays between every task?

Re: Mission Possible C
Personally, I'd say its against the spirit of the rules, but I doubt an ES would stop it. Its harmful anyway because it gives less time to get bonus points with a timer.SluffAndRuff wrote:I don't recall if this has been discussed before, but what's your take on programming 9.9 second delays between every task?

Re: Mission Possible C
i think that you should go for it. I did that at my invitational and it was totally ok.SluffAndRuff wrote:I don't recall if this has been discussed before, but what's your take on programming 9.9 second delays between every task?

Remember that just because it was okay at one tournament, it doesn't mean it's okay at all tournaments.

Re: Mission Possible C
Most of my actions are relatively instantaneous. Should I add a short delay of maybe 500 ms between each action? Most of my actions have an Attiny25 attached to them.

Re: Mission Possible C
Wow, thats a good way to save money but still use microcontrollers for everything. I would add a delay if you can easily because it will make it easier to prove actions happen in the sequence described in the asl.davecutting wrote:Most of my actions are relatively instantaneous.

Re: Mission Possible C
You start by pulling the magnet off, as described in rule 4.a.Lambs wrote:To start the machine do you have to pull a magnet off or do you get to use andthing to start the machine?

Re: Mission Possible C
I'm using a 6v power supply but I can't run more than one circuit off of it. The circuits work fine individually but when operating together only the first one works. How can I get more juice out of this battery to power all the circuit I need without using additional batteries?
