Well I suppose this statement applies to me since I have organized an event
that limits the robots to a single light sensor. However, in my defense, I
must say that the intent behind the rule was to make the game more fair for
all competitors. Many of my group's members are new to robotics and have
only the RIS. Some others are not new to it and have oodles of elements to
build their creations with. In an attempt to make the challenge interesting
to both types of competitors, I decided a single light sensor would be the
only limitation. Obviously this makes some elements of the game more
difficult then they would be with two or more light sensors. But I feel it
does a lot to level the playing field.

You can read the rules to our event here:

So, do I qualify as a "real person"? :)

Of course.
But then, some are more "real" than others ;-)
