Just a suggestion from an 'outsider' (non-RTL person) - how about robots that
have to climb the rope, then back down to the ground, and back to their starting
spot, or to a common "finish line"?
This would make multiple challenges: Find the rope, climb the rope, reverse
direction, back down the rope (careful not to drop off the end!), re-orient
position to find the finish (since the rope could easily turn while the bot is
on it)...
You could have a beacon of some sort marking the finish line, maybe a light
pulsing at a certain frequency?
Of course it's easier to *suggest* things like this than to *build* a robot to
handle them. :-)
Me? I'll stick with trains, thank you very much!
