Well no, I'm more interested in the whole thing, but darn it, someone's beaten 
me to it. ;) Doing it the way they do allows the robots to be written in any 
language, but has drawbacks as well (one of which is, you can write robots in 
a language other than Ruby!). I think that I will continue to do it my way, 
if only for the exercise, and also because it would be simpler to get a robot 
started so it would be more appropriate as a Ruby teaching tool; this is one 
of my major aims.

Who knows, we might get a regular tournament going within the Ruby community 
or something. I'll think about that when it's written.
