ok you lost me now.
IF your shoe box has a lid and a HOLE in the WALL (HITW) then why are we
arguing??? you just described my rule set of a closed hopper with a HITW.

using daves original idea, a shoe box is a VERY GOOD solution to that
game. MUCH like the ring/gravity robots were a good solution to the
beam game.
BUT. what did i learn from the ring robots. NOTHING, other than yay, a
neat way around the spirit of the game.
steve, i want a rule set that forces "real" robot entries, NOT loop hole
shoe box entries. if 5 people show up with a shoe box i learn???? WHAT???
if dave, and derek show up with a real pick/place robot, then i (and the
community) learns a great deal about problem solving. EVEN if narry a
robot transfers a bot. i still see problem solving in action.
Steve, you just may be leaps a head of many other robot builders, but i
for one need all the help i can get. until there is an advanced robot
building class, this is all i got.
----small rant and a bit of a stretch-----
Iain, built an AMAZING duck assembly robot, we ALL took something away
from that. if iain had just shown us the finished duck as built by
hand, no one would have learned a thing.
----end-----
