   To address the first point, take a look at the large number of solutions to
the "Project X" challeng in the rtlToronto newsgroup. One of the first things I
built as a new Mindstorms user was a Project X 'bot, *because* I was curious how
to do it with just one RCX. You're right, it makes for an interesting challenge,
but a good one. that said...

   Agreed, it doesn't need to be, although (much like the challenge of
compressing Steve's connect four solution into a single RIS kit) it could be a
fun thing to do. But I don't think it's a neccessary limit. Hey, Project X was
*won* by a single RCX solution after all.

   Hehe... is there any limit to how, um, violently the game board can be
cleared?

   Also, after talking & thinking about this, I'm thinking about building a
robot to learn to play the classic game of 3-5-7 Nim. That should be a fun demo.
Anybody can beat it initally, but the more you play...
