hhmmmmm.
Call me dense but I don't get it.
Is there some sort of communication (IR) that the bots need to use?
Or is this supposed to be a mechanical type affair?
I would assume that two bots would have to "come together" somehow but
can't image a mechanism to assist. Maybe once the standard is defined
this will make more sense to me...
