i was thinking more that the HITW input is defined as BOTH the hole size
and location, AND how many bricks are to surround it.
meaning your HITW is ~ALSO~ 4 bricks and studs of solid brick around the
hole.
NOW, to find a mates hole
you need 2 TOUCH sensors. (or not if your good)
place 2 pokey touch sensors. like i did with my Project X, and STEVE
copied with his winning C$ robot, and if one sensor is pressed, and the
other in NOT... then slip a little lovin EOAT in the direction of the HITW

thats up to you...
if you want to go forth to spread your seed, then you risk walking away
from a partner in mid....

i was thinking that we could try some kind of "motion" rule. but all
you have to do is put a small motor on your shoe box to move it forward
a bit, wait 1 min, move it....
naw...
lets think about this one.
