OK, its time I added my thoughts.

I'm all for a new blockstacking game.

I think its just the right level of complex to bring many of the newbies to the
next level.

the only issue seems to be size and scoreing.........  oh wait.  wrong thread.


Dave. I'm still up for a no holds barred AUTONOMOUS battle bot!

we'd do it in the 4x4 arena.  fight to the death.  but I think that it should be
AFTER block stacking.

we seem to have block stacking momentum..

PLUS derek would not enter.  (Mr. Precious Precious RCX boy.)

I was just thinking about it.  I'm still very much game.  If others are
interested, basically the competition is true battle 'bots, in which you build a
'bot to take out another 'bot in an fashion you can.

Unlike the television show, these 'bots would be 'true' robots--being controlled
by an RCX instead of RC.

Most people balked at this 'cause they didn't want to destroy an RCX.  I always
said that if you build a robot that leaves the RCX exposed enough to get
destroyed, eh, :)

If no one else is interested, I'd even go for a RC battle 'bot competition
again, just like Live 2, for the sheer fun of it.

IIRC, all those that entered Live 2 had a great time (except Wayne, who fried a
control unit...)

Just more ideas for the mix :)
