Okay, okay. Jeff you did make a valid point. I keep forgetting about that
section in the rules. Why is it that you always perk up when the topic is
rules? :) About starting without tipping/shaking, I promise I can do that
when the robot starts on two rungs. When it is hanging from two of its
claws, it cannot swing at all. So, can I please just use a battery box? I
don't need an RCX, and they are just so much bigger... But if you insist, I
can accomodate an RCX.
