Well, how's this for a set of rules:
1. Tower Height: Points are awarded by height of tower.
Number of blocks tall 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Points 0 2 3 5 8 13 21 34
-Towers can touch each other, but the robot cannot touch the tower
2. Tower Colour: You build the tower out of your start square colour. If a
tower has a block of the opponent's colour, the tower is limited to the height
of the home colour underneath.
Example: You have build an 8 tall tower of mostly black, your home colour The
sixth block is white though. You are awarded 8 points for a five tall tower.
3. Home Towers: Towers are rewarded a 50 percent increase* in points when built
in the home square.
* This is the one I need help setting.

Well, I think this is where Steve does really well. He's both reliable and
complex. He's obviously invested the time into building solid, well designed
robots, then testing the crap out of them. It's impressive how much time he can
devote to such things.
