I don't like the idea of having to give up a motor port. I only
have 1 RCX. Even one sensor port may be a bit much....
That being said, the location of the RCX is independent of the bot operation,
so maybe it could be in a standard place on the game area the opposing bot
gantry has to touch a lever that preses a button on the opposing RCX?
If IR is an issue, maybe the RCX's could be placed facing each other in an
enclosure that prevents stray IR from messing around.
As far as alternative firmware and non-standard message formats goes,
tough luck. pbForth can send arbitrary messages :-)

| (...) If IR messages are not used, I think you'll have to use one motor port to signal you are done, one way or another. (...) I know BrickOS can also support standard messages. (21 years ago, 15-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
