upon reflection, you are correct.  A robot that can pick up the entire

Hard.   I also think no one would do it.   BUT I still think the concept
is a cop out.

I have this piucture of a robot that imitates a ten pin bowling alley:

Grabber comes down and picks up the blocks that are already in place, an arm
scrapes the rest of the pieces off the tray into a hopper, it somehow
reloads the empty slots in the grabber from the hopper, and then puts them
all back down again in one action.
