But YOU are the Hardware genius...

Looks amazing! The construction looks nice and solid. I bet it had very
little side to side deflection. I never thought about actuating a baby gate
with a linear drive.

Hmmmm. It certainly would have discouraged the rest of us :) Its hard to
know whats in the spirit of the challenge and what isn't. I tend to think
that the whole point of the game was to get your RCX's fat butt across the
gap somehow. I thought the 'reaching arms' were a bit cheap. Then again,
they didn't win, did they?
