I'm going to have to disagree. i think we will all know which robot finished first because it will be the first robot to put down the final block to make the X pattern. In my opinion, the robot could keep scanning the board and whistle dixie, long after the X is made. it should not matter.
> I guess we will have a little PC program to generate the random pattern?
Calum and I were talking about this. We think it would be fair to have
every member of RTLToronto to submit to either myself or Calum, a
"random pattern" If everyone who is entering a robot, submits a pattern
the night before, then that could be a source for patterns. As well,
I'm sure if we run out of ideas we can poll the audience. and as you
said: get a PC to generate a pattern.

Why? If I understand you question; i cant see why we should force
robots to 'start' or end in any position.
What do you mean by mark a corner???
ALSO!!! note to all!!!!!
if you can, could all robot builders either print out the software they
wrote, for the actual game. or scribble some kind of flowchart on a
cocktail napkin.
I think that because this game will not be so "audience orientated" we
as robot builders will have a TON of time to question each other about
the robots.
having code handy might be fun to show others.
I plan on bringing my code just to prove that I even CODE with brute
force.
