Yep Larry is right. It was a great piece of arts. It was actually built by two
dutch guys: Martijn Boogaarts and Gerrit Bronsveld. Correct me if I'm wrong but
it used 23 RCXes!!
Unfortunately it didn't work flawless but I think the main reason for that is
the car; it was quite hard to build with the 'factory'. The worst thing is they
asked me to design the car, so actually it's me to blame.... :-P
