If one of the rules will be that you have to have a hole in the wall into which
the bricks will be loaded, then we might need to use the RCX to actually locate
the hole.
I think that by making that one of the rules, it might make it a little to
challenging, as you need two autonomous robots to co-operate. Also it might
limit the variety of robots, as everyone will have a similar hole, and a similar
dispenser. That might make it a less interesting.
I suggest that we continue with the idea that your container can be any size and
shape as long as it is max 10 studs of the ground.
