Starting: I am wondering about starting methods. How are we going to ensure the
drag racers start at the same time? Could we send a message from a remote?


I like this idea, because it guarentees that both robots will have their
programs started at the same time.  Mandate that everyone must use a common
program slot for their running program (ie, Program 1).

As long as the message is in a standardized form that can easily be
understood by all OSs used by members of RTL, then this would work.
Declaring Program 1 doesn't work because different OSs have different
interpretations of what a program is.
