rulz page here:

basicly, you have to build one touch senor in your bot that the other
robot has to "press" (1) to signal, that the robot is done making its move.

That's not quite what we did.  Robot X has a touch sensor that is
connected to one of Robot B's input ports.  Robot O has a touch sensor
that is connected to one of Robot X's input ports.

Robot X passes turn to Robot O by pressing this touch sensor and
releasing.  Robot O then does the same when it's done it's turn.

Most people implemented this by having the touch sensor tripped when the
robot moved it arm to the home position.

1. the press is in quotes cause there are MANY ways of doing this.  like
directly conecting a wire from your motor out to his sensor in, OR
building a touch sensor in your bot, and all the other guy has to do is
hook it up via a wire to his rcx.

I have two problems using a motor port connected to an input port.  You
can't tell by looking if the person has programmed their motor port
properly to reduce the risk of damaging the input port.  You loose a
motor port to this function.

Since you have to have your robot clear the field when it's done, it's
pretty easy to setup a touch sensor so you can press it while you are
doing this.
