Yes. One event. That or two events but one has to be ridiculously easy to
run. Ie, both should run on the playfield. No more of this coffee table
stealing business.

I'm really impressed by that game because the robots can be very simple or
very complex. You can have:
-Simple two motor robots that just push around blocks
-Robots that can toss blocks (out of the field or to the other side)
-Robots that can hoard blocks, then dump at the end of a game
-Pairs of robots (ie, team based games) which communicate to each other.
-Software based strategy (ie, message passing, mapping) or hardware based
strategy (faster drive mechanisms, grabbing and lifting mechanisms to remove
blocks)
I'm extremely excited by the prospect of a multiplayer game, as many of our
members now have multiple RCXs, while people can still play with one too.
