i.e. 100% Pure Lego.
Absolutely. However much I'd love to have a complete set of Michael
Gasperi's toys (I mean sensors) such a challenge would only work for me
if I could do it the pure way :) (except, of course, for software...)

Ok, what should we allow then? Only the RIS set or also extra sensors?
How should we construct the track? I suggested marking the curbs with a
black line, but mayby a gradient could be used so cars can find their
way back on track if pushed out or crashed by itself (it's a pity those
LEGO cityroads are so narrow). The track should be at least 30cm wide if
only one car races at a time and no less than 60cm if more are on track
at the same time. It would also be a good idea to put in some markes to
make position estimation easier.

Now my only problem is that I only have one RCX and I don't know anybody
in the neighborhood who owns one. So there is no one to race with :-(
