Hey folks,

First, as a rough count, how many folks are coming to rtlToronto8 (June 9th,
Saturday) with a robot for competition?  And how many are coming to watch?

Mine is 75% complete.  It should join the competition if it doesn't jam all the
time.

Then, how many people are using single RCX vs multi RCX?  Single unit vs
multiple units?  Single light sensor vs multiple light sensors?

1 RCX & 1 light sensor.

Anyone using a single light sensor configuration for rtlToronto8?  Victor
and I spent Sunday working on a prototype robot and had a sensor angled at
the floor that could also see a block.  We got reasonably separate readings
for blocks (both white and black) and floor, but the issue is that once
you've got a block, you can't read floor anymore to tell if you're in enemy
territory or back home to discard or keep.

I use the same angled sensor method.  Once my bot see a block it stop and eat
the block so that's not an issue for me.
