[Al Skierkiewicz]

Gracious Professionalism has more accurately been referred to as "acting in a way that your grandmother would be proud of." (if she were watching) I extend that to my grandmother who at 95 is still very alert and active. Could you defend your design to her? If your robot is only designed to interact with other robots and neither the field pieces nor a human player is it defendable under this definition? This is a hard question to ask and an even harder one to answer.
Good Luck All
