Do the control labs have 2 inputs and 2 outputs?
Can you just hook one in & out together, and say that is the signal line for one
robot? (then do the same for the other?)
Then, when one signal is received, the control lab sends out a signal on the
other side.
The control lab would easily be able to keep track of who's turn it is, and keep
the "wrong" robot from sending signals.

Just like above, I plan to connect a sensor port to a motor port, and
float/brake the motor to signal EoT.
I WAS going to try and use one RCX for the whole thing, but my new plan is to
try and use all five of my RCXs, and maybe even a Spybot, or two.

Ok, forget the Spybots...
