the point of making it "hard" to hit the button is to force the robot to
do something other then, swing forward.   with a button placed at "some
point" then people are "forced" to use an RCX.  the whole reason we have
these games is to give us a GOAL, a challenge too build something.  if
it was a game of JUST monkey across, then I'd bet  $1  that you (Iain)
could do it in your sleep, with just battery box logic..
