Although RCXWars could be cool if someone figured out how to cannibalize

steal their 'scalp', which leaves them active, but with a software flag that
says it's been scalped. When there is only one remaining unscalped bot, the
game is over and you count how many scalps each has taken( and kept from
being stolen). Whoever has the most trophies wins.

Hrm.  With this you could have the bots play capture-the-flag...

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.

So... Robot Wars for RCXs? I admit I like the originals better - much
more spectacular :)

Along the lines of the RCX Games, etc.. being discussed, I was wondering if there was intrest in forming local user groups, so that if some of us happen to be in the same geographical space we could experiment with multiple RCX's interacting with (...) (26 years ago, 4-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)
