when people say that vending the best product is what this game is all
about.......


!!!ITS!!!  !!!!NOT!!!!


argh....

maybe by calling this game vending machines was a mistake... maybe that
put a bad tone over the game.

let me try again from a  different approach.

guys:

build a robot that does anything you want it to do.

the end!!!

the winner of this game is based on which robot the audience like best.

!PERIOD!

I think a SIMPLE way to have the audience interact with and "vote" for
the best machine would be to have then "pay" for that service.

SURE we could hand out tokens....  BUT a real quarter is a lot harder
for your robot to get.   anyone might be able to had one token to 3 of
the BEST designs,   BUT anyone who can come up with a machine that
intrigues people enuff to spend REAL MONEY will have one heck of a
machine....

send flames this way    ->
