So the ruleset up to now--create an autonomous robot that will exchange blocks
with other autonomous robots.
The specifics are that the container to hold blocks on your robot has to have at
least 1 vertical opening on the side that is at least 3 inches by 3 inches but
cannot be greater than 5 inches by 5 inches--the bottom of the opening cannot be
above five inches from the floor nor can the top of the opening be below the 8
inch mark--this prevents someone from making an opening anywhere they feel like,
nor can you make one continuous opening that circles the perimeter --that's why
there's a minimum and a maximum size. (these are just arbitrary numbers--they
can be debated)
THe scoring is based on how many unique blocks your robot collected multiplied
by the number of unique robots your robot put a block in.
That's about it, really.
What this does not stop, obviously, is for me to make my robot basically open
around the entire perimeter, and just have technic beams every 5 inches around
the perimeter. That follows the rules, but is more like the 'open top' concept,
except now I have 'open sides'.
I dunno, am I thinking too much about it?
