im about to START to make this game board. my FIRST step is to get the
thing to balance (more or less)
THEN Since the rules state the robot with its "side" up at the end of
the game, is the winner, i see no reason why we CANT just put in a STOP
screw to prevent the FULL rotation of the board.
if your robot is heaver than your opponent, then you need to design that
into your strategy to allow your robot to climb, and vice versa.
