I think we should take something like one RCX, three motors and then triple or
quadruple the number to get a restriction.

Well, I think one dimension restriction should be okay, ie, the length idea you
have there. I don't want to restrict the idea of clamping against the vertical
support, or pushing against the floor. Maybe draw a one foot sweep around the
center of the 2x4, defining a cylinder?

I think I was trying to say how large the supporting H frame underneath would
be.

As much as we put into each event, it's the participants which make it fun!
Thanks to everyone for showing up!
