Hey, I like that one! That sounds pretty good, pulling up rice. Now, what
about string though? What string is allowed? And how do we specify the rope
across the room, how high is it? How much does it dip? Or not at all?

No, I mean having ropes from four corners of the room meeting in a knot in the
center. You start on rope end +X pick up something at XY (the knot in the
center) and have to drive to end -Y or +Y or -X depending its colour for
example. Requires you to traverse the knot. Maybe under the knot would be a
stack of plates or something easy to grab.
