I have seen some of the Project X stuff... Very, very impressive.

Somewhat correct.  If both robots play correctly, each game ends in a draw, no
matter who starts.  In these cases, we're basing the winner on total time each
robot takes to play its portion of the game.

Not getting up there too often for your games I can't speak from much
experience, but I understand the concern.  I just wanted to let him & the rest
of you know that while tic-tac-toe sounds easy, it isn't something I would
consider an "easier" challenge.  I think it is tougher than C4, and King of the
Hill, which I built robots for, and a few of your other games that I looked at
but didn't compete in.
