Do tell....
What tips did Bruce give you? I'm making my first attempt at a
multi-RCX robot for the block-stacking compettition and having a
dismal time of it.
Do you have any tips on hot to get a roving robot to return to base

detector at first, but the I have to wonder why the regular LEGO light
sensor wouldn't work.
