Ok, I came up with a loophole over lunch. Here's a slightly new plan: 1) Fabulousi sequence for stacked blocks OF THE CORRECT COLOuR 2) +1 for blocks at home of correct coloUr 3) -1 for blocks at home of wrong coloUr See below... (...) New score: (...) (20 years ago, 28-Oct-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Once agian I made the mistake of using hte 'higher speed' one, just like the last robot event. IN the 8448 that was just fine, but these are bigger tyres and a heavier chassis, so it takes a little bit to get up to speed. You can barely see' (...)

(...) Maybe one should start by asking all the people who have entered past block-stacking events...
