Yeah! Maybe two bins, at either end. And a pan in the centre... the rope would
have flags/targets on it for positioning.
So the thing is you can have:
a) robot does one big scoop, one big dump, but is slow
b) robot is tiny and fast, taking smaller goes
etc..
Lots of possibilities. Time limit. Most mass of material moved (ie, most water
dumped in fire area) wins!

Yeah! Same idea, I like this.

This one I don't quite follow - do you mean a second set of ropes under the main
running ropes, for targets?
The geek in me suggests having two parallel running ropes (say, 16s apart) for
the same reason that Funitel acheives high lateral stability. Contestants can
use either one or two ropes to support their robot however they like. If it's
heavy and needs both sobeit.
