Suddenly I'm envisioning little seeker robots who roam around, trying to locate
the target (presumably, other peoples' trebuchets?). Once located, the
information is somehow communicated back to the trebuchet (infrared? wire?
who knows?), so that the trebuchet can aim in the right direction and adjust
it's range accordingly. The victor is the one whose trebuchet isn't smeared
with overripe cherry tomato juice!
Just a thought from a non-mindstorms person (and a yank to boot) :P
