Ohhhhhh was that a shot ???? (grin) what are you trying to say, that a
remote controlled robot is not allowed?
I'll have you know that I'm entering the exact same robot except maybe
I'll add code this time. (grin)

seriously.... I'm rebuilding the same type of robot from the ground up.
it will be faster better cheaper. and it should only require 1 RCX.
why do you say that a proper bot would need 2?

this is the same kind of Idea Jeff used in his marble sorter
"Cinderblock" it used the old tank treads that always ran, powered buy
a batter box, then he stuck... pins in the treads which dragged marbles
up a ramp. it worked very well!!!
