This theoretical debate is interesting and all, but
until someone actually tries to build something, we won't
really know how easy/difficult it will be to build an
X inch long robot to cross a Y inch long gap.

I'm thinking of just a rough prototype, probably not even
motor/RCX operated.

I haven't built a prototype for this, but from trying to build a soccer robot, an
8 inch cube robot is probably too small.  In an 8 inch cube the RCX takes up a
large portion of the space.  I think we should stick with our usual 12 inch cube.

I would like to see the gap be at least the same size as the robot.  So a 12 inch
cube robot and a 12 inch gap.  A larger gap would also be cool.
