I was thinking of an small arena with bright white walls (somewhere between 90
and 100 on the photo sensor). This might help the dumb RCX see and track
others.

RCX Quake?
uh oh, I've created a monster. If someone can organize a mob I'll bring the
Pitchforks and flaming torches for the confrontation outside the castle
gates :)
It has to be a cycle, otherwise you'd end up with three rocks that just sit
there and twiddle their thumbs (or whatever appendage is appropriate)
I was thinking more along the lines of a competition. Each person brings an
RCX and is assigned a team (Paper, Rock or Scissors) they are put in an
arena on fixed starting points and let loose, human judges watch and when
two RCX's collide points are scored (on paper perhaps? :) and the bots moved
back onto a random start position. There is no obligation to program your
bot to follow any particular rules. If a rock hits a scissors the rock gets
points and the scissors looses points, etc. after five minutes whoever has
the most points wins.
The only problem is how you identify who is who?
Everyone could be obliged to have a loop that sends messages via the IR port
saying "I'm a Rock!" (or whatever) but that's pretty directional, could you
have a coloured light or something?
Cheers
Tim
