Hi Dave, I like your game idea. I will build a line follower and a monkey... I say you restrict the game to 1 RCX, and maybe a smaller size, since the arena is pretty small. Other than that, I like it. This gives me a chance to build a simple robot, (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
