I don't know. Mark Tilden, one of his companies, and Spar put on something
a few years ago at the Science Center in Toronto, and at one of the 
computer Fests at the CNE... Mark has long ago gone to work making
his critters for Los Alamos in New Mexico - so I don't know if he's 
got time. In Toronto, there is a small event - a Robo Sumo contest at
the Ontario College of Art, March 27/95. Give them a call for info
and rules. It's a BEAM type robo-sumo.
