And it is really impressive! Wonderful job, and a very nice write-up. A few
questions:

Neat solution. I was wondering how you networked between the two IR
communication chambers (the article is a little vague, refering to a "direct
feedback loop" which could be anything). Also, as the point collector
communicated with five other RCXs, how did you keep from loosing message in this
chamber?
Also, the article mentioned that "So it was a real challenge to come up with
a system to guarantee that the display and the 'internal' points are equal." How
did you end up doing that?
Again, your creation is a very wonderful application - I'm sure it was
wonderful seeing the faces of all (kids & adults) as they saw this.
