I like this the best--touch sensor for when your 'bot is in the 'home'
postition--i.e. 'off the board'. Your 'bot will probably use it, and you can
run a wire to the other 'bot.
Done and done.
The part I'd think would be fun if a 'bot 'accidentally' hit the home button,
but then moved back across the playfield, hitting the other 'bot in the process
:)

other 'bot.
