Is it possible to make the blocks the other way:

TILE
BRICK
PLATE

??

It makes it easier to handle the blocks as they don't have a
significant concavity on the bottom that way.

See, trying to keep my head down so as to not rock the boat anymore--but I
thought about this after I saw Calums pic and I thought taht what Rob said could
work better, so I'll just agree with him.

As for the scoring issue--lets see if I got this right--

Dave against Steve--

Dave's bot makes a stack of 5 blocks somewhere in the field

Steve pushes 12 right coloured blocks onto his starting square

Dave gets total of 8

Steve gets 12

K, and if Dave's tower had 4 right colours--12

And if Dave's tower is on his home square--15 (12 + 4 (right colour) - 1 (wrong
colour))

Eh, I'm okay with non-stacked blocks on the home square.

So the formula for scoring--

Fabulousi sequence for stacked blocks

Plus

1 for each correct colour in tower

Plus

1 for each correct colour on starting square

Minus

1 for each incorrect colour on starting square

So if you don't stack, the first and second part of the equation = 0 but the
last two parts can still give you a total.

I'm okay with that.

It isn't rocket science, but it works

Now what if my 'bot puts my tower up on my oppnent's square--I'd get the first
two parts of the equation, and my opponent would take a 'hit' for having the
wrong colour blocks on his square.  Hmmmm.... I like that.

  Re: rtlToronto18 - new plan
 
Ok, I came up with a loophole over lunch. Here's a slightly new plan: 1) Fabulousi sequence for stacked blocks OF THE CORRECT COLOuR 2) +1 for blocks at home of correct coloUr 3) -1 for blocks at home of wrong coloUr See below... (...)
