OK...it looks like this messaging mechanism in
http://news.lugnet.com/robotics/?n=25849 is a little confusing.  Steve cleared
this up a bit in http://news.lugnet.com/robotics/?n=25862

In the hierarchy he discussed, N0 has to go through N1 to talk to N2-4.  This
model can be extended to higher levels in a tree network with three lower level
legs below each node.  So no direct communication...yet.
