chance for someone to really showcase their bot for all. That's probably the
best idea yet. The bots could have little labels on their backs, like
numbers so we would know who is who. I don't know why Dave doesn't have a
RJP going online. Although, I can think of a few things, (time+$$$). I
actually have a web cam, (not of a RJP) because I'm in college and the
ethernet and the electricity is quasi-free.

>How about that, Dave? A RJP with all your BEAM creations duking it out
live online?<
KILLER IDEA! Good for Dave, good for everybody! Streaming video, perhaps?
Weekly 'Best of the Park' winners (no prizes, just bragging rights)! How
about, your bot stays in the park as long as the votes keep coming in for
it. One week minimum stay then shipped home (owner pays, 'natch).
Food for thought!
