I just ran mine on the desk for the first time. I'm REALLY pushing the size
restrictions, I've got about 2 mm clearance on the sides, and about 10 mm on
the ends. Height isn't bad.
I have no ability to kick. I think I'll end up playing goalie. :)

Oh, duh. Sorry. I was thinking that by "parallel assembly", you meant
performing more than one assembly task at any given instance. That would
have eliminated the choice to use a carousel automation (like I was doing).
Yeah, I totally see your point - it's hard to regulate that. Maybe a
restriction on number of RCX's is the only way to do that. :-/
(granted, people can just gang RCX outputs together - which is how I drove
the robots on the Duck Assembly Carousel. 2 robots built (intended 3) ran
off of the same pair of RCX ports. Worked like a charm.)
