This IS enough fun to continue.
So, continue.
I'll suggest robots are no bigger than a 48x48 baseplate. So, the
course must be big (wide) enough for such a robot to pass through. I
suspect on the day of the event, we will make the hills as steep as
needed. At one time or another, all robots will be expected to flip
and crash. :)

I have a couple controllers, and I plan to write a couple programs
that will allow them to interface with any robot. So, to answer your
question, yes, there will be remotes available.
