Well, I just got back from my ski trip. I read quite a few e-mail while I was gone,
but I have over 200 NXT e-mails still waiting.
As to the tiles in the bottom of the 3T board...

The first problem I see with adding tiles is that it will require us to get enough
tiles OF THE SAME COLOR to fill the board.
Next, it could require people with working robots to rebuild, because the board is a
different height. (small difference)
Finally, (and I would actually feel different if *I* was the ONE person with a robot
that works on the current board) we've seen that it CAN be done, so the rest of us
are going to have to try just a bit harder. It's totally possible that dropping
blocks from above 4 studs high just won't work.
Like Brian and John, I vote "no change".
