OK.

2 rules!

1.  stop having all this exciting conversations when I cant get near a
working computer.

and

B.  whatever we finally decide. we should have a "mock" game to test the
system.  some time in and around x-mas.  this will give us a chance to

Why not just hook up your homing
sensor to the other guys RCX? That way when you park your robot after moving,
the other guy knows its his turn.

because not everyone will use a home sensor.   I could just as easily
drive my X for 3 seconds knowing that it will be in the home position.
Sure I'm over driving my motor, but a clutch gear solves that.

Sorry.

but we either have to choose to "lose" one sensor and one motor  or live
with IR.

now maybe we can come up with a few ways to lower that.

has anyone played with the a direct wire from sensor to sensor?
