Ya, that would be cool! We'll just have to do it manually. Do you
have another little motorized "switching house"? I know you have the

nothing.
As far as getting some other help. you guys have the phone numbers
for the rest of our not-so-vocal members. Call them up. Mark (I
think is his name), the robotics guy, is probably coming to the show.
I'm making a T-shirt for him, which he's already paid me for, so he's
definitely interested. Call him, and see if he can spare an RCX for a
weekend. You can set up the program with all your stuff, and just
drop his RCX in there.
