At one time we did have an unofficial rule were you DID have to use an
RCX. that has pretty much changed with Rob's "monkey bot"
we have seen that cool solutions can be had without using the rcx.
the best way to "force" an RCX event is to have a game that NEEDS the
RCX. meaning define the game so that its easier to use an RCX then to
build a ring or gravity type robot.
if you REALLY want to see RCXen, then you need to suggest ways to make
this existing game NEED an rcx. (1)

1. WITHOUT needlessly saying that the bot MUST have an IR beacon, OR
other false standard, just for the sake of using the rcx.
