You might want to consider resorting to a system like the biathalon
uses: A time, plus  penalties for things done wrong.  So your system
might be:

SCORE = #seconds_to_finish + #sloppy_blocks * penalty +
#incorrect_blocks * penalty2

Lowest score wins.


At the risk of being wishy-washy.....

I like this.  It makes sense, and it address rob's concern. (right?)

example:

Time = time in seconds
+ 1 sec for not perfect block
+ 3 sec for "wrong" blocks.

(these penalty times are based on what i figure are real life)

a robot with a time of 40 sec, with 1 wrong block and 2 not perfect
blocks will end up with a a "time" of  45 seconds.

if the other guy finishes second at 50 seconds, with a perfect system
then his score is 50.

So if lowest score wins then the imperfect but fast bot wins????

comments???  do i need to re-think the penalty times???

OK folks, since I don't have a robot competing, perhaps I'll throw out some suggestions: Some scoring rules I've heard bandied around are: First to finish: +20 or +50... Block wrong: -10 or disqualified Block mispositioned: -5 I'd observe that in (...) (22 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
