Ok! I have been a touch RoboActive the last few weeks. I have looked at many features and functions of owning a dumb bi-peadal servo grouping.

I wanted to play against my robo in a game of luck (other games, like games of skill are a study in themselves). I Had thought and thought about how we could play a game together where there are winners and loosers. DaaaDaaaahhh! I had a good old fashion light bulb switch on, and off I went.

This game depends on your honesty in that you input the correct values via the remote, If you get a duff roll then dont input a better roll.

I have two versions of this game. One for a standard RN and one for gripper mods.

The RN always throws first. It put its arm up and waits for a remote input. You shake the dice and place them on the hand. you press the remote and the RN tosses the dice. You input the value and RN will react to the value with sound. It then waits for the remote. You throw your dice and note the value. You press the remote and enter your score. RN reacts to the total scores.
Round 2. repeat
After 10 rounds RN calculates the scores and reacts with victory or misery. it the beeps out the scores and resets to the start but keeps an overall count of wins and losses.

I have had quite a few games where I actually got angry because the lucky bugger was throwing strings of high numbers while mine were low !!!

The last game was 7 to Takeshi and 5 for me :(
