Yes, of course.  My plan is for zero cutting and pasting.  The judge pops
in the CD-ROM into their computer, fires up the internet connection, and
off they go.  Alternatively, if we end up with judges with computers but
no internet connection, I'll have some backup.

As things start to shape up here, I'll start programming the necessary
stuff (mock site II?).

Actually, I was referring to the "only natural materials" aspect, which I
believe to be an impossible condition.
