I choose the control lab as the ref because it's not a legal part to use
in the contest, which means no-one looses the use of an RCX in for this
game. (Well it's legal, but the computer at the other end isn't) You
also have an nice large screen to display the timers on while the game
progresses, rather then a 5 digit screen with a little running man. :-)

My thought was the ref would be passive. Whether the signal is given
through a direct wire connection, or a mechanical link, the ref would
only sense the signal, it wouldn't generate one. Just to keep things
simple.
