Sure.  I will draw one up tonight.

There is only one sensor per robot.  When playing via arbitrator, that sensor is
pushed by Robot A and is connected to Arbitrator.  Arbitrator then signals Robot
B to start on B's sensor port.  Robot B is watching for it's signal.

When Robot B is done, it pushes it's own sensor, signalling Arbitrator.
Arbitrator in turn signals A on A's sensor port.

One sensor per robot.  One line per robot.

Speaking of pushing, can I constantly push (hold down) my turn button or is it
instantaneous?

if I volunteer my control lab with that make this better?  then we could "risk" more,
and if I miss my guess, then ONE control lab can watch 8 robots.

Each arbitrator can handle two games at once.  We probaby will have three
arbitrators, each setup with one CL, one laptop, two games watching.

Which reminds me, we need Dave/Oliver/someone to get us some laptops.
