   I cannot see an easy way to make a contestant MOC, for either the Sumo, Pipe Racer or Maze competitions without having to include a Mindstorms or Spybotics CPU, but I would love to be proved wrong by someone :)

Oh, you are mistaken! Do you not remember Fred (or was it F.R.E.D.)? (Fred the IR controlled Mana / Sumobot / Incline Loose Brick Crawler / Comic Relief). Thanks Fuzz. He (you) was/were a riot!

I think he means a *viable* contestant... :)

There was also Rob Stehlik’s “Monkey Entry” at RTL9 (Show me the Moneky). He built his on a “battery box” principle. Now internal processing...No RCX or other like system. The battery box controlled the power, and it shut itself by itself when there was no wrungs left. It was amazing how fast the “robot” was able to complete the task.

...but alas I doubt the average competitor could design a bot that works with the competition without RCX/Spybotics interface.

just posting it to add another example.



thanks, Ben
