Comments.Text: Not sure if this is a duplicate - as far as I know the principle is slightly different for EV3s. If using LeJOS, you can connect the EV3s via USB and make one the slave and the other the master. I'm not sure how to do this with the standard Mindstorms software though, which is likely what is used in this contest (I assume it is the FLL :) ).
