Chris wants to score...

Well, if we go in the direction of an orifice--therefore your 'bot can only mate
with another 'bot from one direction (I can't see how else it cam be done), then
that's pretty much outside the scale of my buildability...
Unless there's a way for my'bot to determine that it's facing the front of your
'bot, whether via signals or touch sensors in a precice spot to let both 'bots
know they're 'coupled' properly...
As well, trying to get the 'bots to match up--for example--'bots run into one
another--'Hey, there's another 'bot touching me but it hit my back corner--I
have to spin around and get my face towards it to deliver my block.
Well then, what if the other 'bot is facing the other way. Not only do I then
have to get my 'bot facing the other 'bot, but then I have to get my 'bot to
start going around the other 'bot, trying to to match the coupling mechanisms.
and if the other 'bot is doing the same thing, and we're both spinning in the
same direction, then our 'faces' will never meet.
And then picture 8 other 'bots in the playfield doing the same thing.
There'll be many 'dancing' 'bots with very little 'gettin' it on' going on....
