Your blocks are uniquely coloured compared to the other player's blocks
And if you build a robot that can transfer a block into your own robot, does it
count?
Calum's 'bot is going along the lines of 'it doesn't move--bot's must come to
it.
I won't let people know what I have planned, but the potential that my 'bot can
transfer a block into my robot is completely possible. If my block isn't
scored, when transferred to my 'bot, then I'll come up with a 'hardware fix' so
that my 'bot can't transfer to my 'bot.

I was thinking of making my blocks the BNSF colours--dark green, yellow, orange,
yellow, dark green. No one would have matching blocks.
