Actually, planning for future events (like 3T) is also good.  So, thanks.

So I actually felt like building last night and was thinking of tic-tac-toe.  We
had talked about awarding a time bonus to robots who could clear the board of
their blocks after a game.  It sounded good at the time...

actually making a robot do this could be really tough with a single RCX

Why does it need to be limited to a single RCX?

Of all the people who are likely to participate, can you think of any that are
limited to one RCX?

Also, it doesn't have to be "one" robot.  You could make a robot that plays the game
from one side of the board, and another that clears the board from an adjacent side.

Anyone else have an opinion?
