Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that Derek's proposal doesn't seriously affect what the interface is, only how it's implemented in terms of the actual arbitrator. You still click a sensor to send the signal, and you still listen for a click to receive it. The only difference is that you're not permitted to 'listen in' on the send sensor. I know I was a major advocate against the dual wire proposal at first, but I'm actually fine with it in this particular situation... because it's not a direct connection, I can double up and use light and touch sensors on those same ports. Mike (yeah, I'll need to borrow a touch for the day Calum or Derek, thanks!) On a side note: There ought to be a way to connect half of the wire so that the sensor is only powered once, but read in different places.

This is on the verge of becoming yet another annoying "late breaking rule change". I personally don't care what I have to code in order to make my bot play nicely, but I DON'T want to have to re-code it at the 11th hour when there will certainly be (...)
