Robots start on the end.  Lighter is better.

Good show! :)  You bring up an awesome point - anyone can build a HEAVY
robot.  But it takes real skill to lighten things up.  I like this even more

be NOT heavy!

Starting at the ENDS!  That is so odd, I don't know what to think about
that.  Hmm!  So, we would start on the ends, pull a pin (releasing the
beam), and at the end of 1 minute see where we stand?

give you an ideal "null" competitor.....an empty beam :)
