I prefer having them all run at once. I think that if we run the robots
often enough, everyone will get a chance to see all the robots doing their
thing. I don't think I've ever seen a competition where this is done. It'd
be wild to see a dozen (or however many) robots all whizzing away at once!
Do you think we'd cause a brownout in the library?!? :-)
I suggest that someone come up with twenty starting configurations, as a
start. After the official competition is held, there's still plenty of time
to go around looking in minute detail at how each one does it's thing.
