how about gravity???
see, you cant just say your bot ~NEEDS~ something just to make it a bot.
you need to add a challenge that will make it easier to USE the RCX then
not.
For the BoP game, if you didnt want to see the tower robots, make a SIZE
rule. stating that the bot must fit in a 12" cube.
if you dont want the gravity bot, then make the game more challenging
where the PIVOT POINT is off limits, OR have a weight category.
so that all the gravity bots can play each other. ect.
