The advantage of working with Ben. We once had a racecourse set up so that
the first car through a "canyon" collapsed the wall over the second car. Fun. I
figure if it only pushes 2-3 balls, it has to make a lap every 2-3 seconds to
handle the throughput requirements. Crate-dumps into the input would have to be
spread out over time. Additionally, with the branch points that come in some
sets, re-directing (or even alternate-trip splitting) of the GBC stream might be
accomplished.

Mine is based on Trellis and the RCX, but it should work. what sort of
competitors were there, and what sort of speed should be aimed for? I *want* to
ask you how you coded it... but NOT before I've done it myself.
