I say at the press.....
if only to avoid the BS of having a robot continue to press it.

yes you can manually send a signal to your robot.....
and sometime when my block stacker drops a block, I can just pick it up.
ONCE, for my sumo robot, it was losing. so I just kind of helped it a little bit
by pushing it back in the ring.
HECK, when calums marble sorter picked up the wrong colour, we said it was FINE if

robot MEANT to do.
I came in second place at rice picker because I was hand feeding blocks into my
robot.
Steve, at RTL its about the love, not the game. this is why we ALLOW all kinds of
HUMAN intervention with our fully autonomous robot games.
(do I really need to point out that I was being sarcastic??)
