Dan, your post put me under the impression that you were against the idea, thanks for clarifying that your main concern is that the authors who have worked hard to get their entrants ready for WCCC deserve the spotlight right now. (did i understand that correctly) In any case my engine is still very primitive but i have high hopes for it (don't we all for our engines). I would love the opportunity someday to get to use it in a over the board competition with some of the other members here. however, I don't anticipate that it will be to strong enough to make it worthwhile until at least this winter.
