This is an important consideration as over here in the UK, we have a
robot wars program currently showing on BBC TV where contestants control
their creations in an arena via radio control. Note that this is not the
same as two autonomous computers interacting. However, on my Cybermaster
box it just says "...where Crusher and Stinger have their breathtaking
battles."
Whilst it does not claim multiple direct control, I think it is a bit
misleading.
