For right now, I'm interested in getting a basic working framework up and 
running. Personally I'd have only one JunkBot each anyway, because that 
way you encourage co-operation between players, and get people to 
Specialise their JunkBots.

Say I prop a Reactor Part and install it on my Bot, and a way of 
transfering power between Robots, but my reactor needs RUs to work. You, 
on the other hand, specialise in RU gathering but find your self running 
out of power. Obvious solutions occur. If we could do both jobs, there 
would be less Player/Player co-operation.

Oh, and incidentally, today (Dec 28th) would have been John Von Neumanns 
100th Birthday
