Sure. That does make sense. Maybe two at a time, four at a time.

Well, you can always accept pokes from the left side, and give pokes from the
right side.

Yeah, but should be mechanically isolated? Iain says it may be physically
dangerous if someone misprograms their RCX.

Requires some extra work for the arbitrating RCX...but that also solves the
deterministic problem (I think that's the word for it...or is it
non-stochastic?--one where the solution is always known).
