Yeah, Dave getting around to fixing anything... shyeah right...
I'd have to take out all the blocks and LEGO stuff out of the arena and actually
work on it. That's not gonna happen--I mean, what would the LEGO webcam'bot do
in the meantime?? type on the PET computer in my room???
Hey, wait! That's an idea...

I was thinking more along the lines of using the previous scoring with the
addition that each wrong colour in the stack is -10.
Previous scoring is a 'modified' Paganitti (whoever) number sequence--adding the
previous 2 numbers for the next one.
0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 ...
We lopped off the two 1's at the beginning of the sequence for our scoring
purposes in the past.
so a two block stack is worth 2 pts, a 3 block stack is worth 3, a 4 block stack
is worth 5, etc...
