Not to be completely off-topic, but my brother somewhat participated in a similar contest. the only difference was it was with "real" bots. the purpose was to create a bot which could place tires on a tiered rotating rack. three bots competed at a time and the _only_ goal was the placement of tires. the prollem was the contest was no-holds-barred. so my brother and his team spent 3 months building a robot which had minimal tire placement ability, but maximum opponent destructions capability. as a result, they practically ruined the whole competition. they ripped one of the top competitors in half. i guess my point is, battlin' bots is one thing, but clever bots is sumthin' entirely different. snortboy
