Good! I like this game too. Especia;;y the ptential for catastrophic
failure. I don't think there will be any close matches, since its an all or
nothing situation.

My opinion: The size limitation is very reasonable, but I wouldn't mind an
extra 2 inches (50.8mm). I have a very cool idea that is just slightly
bigger than 12" across. As far as the button goes, leave it in. This has to
be somewhat 'robotic'. Otherwise we will just have brainless monkeys... You
could make the button really easy to push, but that might lend itself to
loopholes.

I promise I will give you some feedback soon. Problem is that I am quite
busy for the next week, so can't spend much time playing with Lego. I could
send you some of my drawings... I came up with a relatively simple idea last
night that is pretty much guaranteed to work. I will try and throw together
a quickie soon. I think we just need to get away from the whole "two arms,
swinging body" idea. Robot monkeys can be very different than real monkeys...

sitting in my basement. At least its a start!)
