(...) I guess no one is going to cheat, but if my bot just say it is done at 0 sec then my score would be 24 sec at worst. So the penalty time for wrong block need to increase - I suggest 6 sec.

OK folks, since I don't have a robot competing, perhaps I'll throw out some suggestions: Some scoring rules I've heard bandied around are: First to finish: +20 or +50...
