I have yet to open it up.. I'm gonna try to see if one of the "decorative elements will be
a cool pro way to solve this game....
maybe the TOA mask of power will help my robot? (smirk)

ya, I've played around with that as well. I have one kooky idea where I just did this:
-------------not real code------------
x = 0
y = 0
loop 5 times
x = x + 1
if LXsensor > highest_red_colour_value {assign_ a_ value; oh and Y = Y + 1)
end loop
IF X <> Y {then we have an "issue" }
return to win game
---------------end not real code-----------------
with code like this, I don't know why I never worked at Nortel??
