Question: You say that we'll have a Mindstorm's set available, and it sounds
like other pieces will also be available. Can you be more specific about what
other parts might be available? Will batteries be provided? Will we have fresh
batteries available for the tournament?

Answer: You will get a standard Mindstorms Set to build your robot, but you can
also a prize for the best robot design, so there will normal LEGO Parts
available you can use for design purposes. And there will be batteries too.

All teams will get some equipment the following parts:

1 RCX, 3 motors, 2 light sensors, 2 pressure sensors and 1 rotation sensor

[I take it that this means besides the standard Mindstorms set, we get an extra
motor, extra light sensor, 2 pressure sensors (!) and a rotation sensor, plus a
variety of 'normal' bricks for decorating our robots. I wonder what the pressure
sensors will be? Normally I'd consider these to be for pneumatics, but pneumatic
parts don't come with a Mindstorms set.]

How about 2 "Touch" sensors?  I thought the same thing, the first time I read it
