This is the best idea I've seen yet. I wanted to suggest scoring via time,
but because I hate math :) I couldn't bother trying to come up with

I am currently in the process of dissassembling my third attempt at building
a robot for this competition.
1) eCcentrica - never ran, structurally unsound

horrid)
I leave for Florida for 2 weeks on Saturday. I'll have a week when I return
to build something. Not good. :)

Block wrong: -10 or disqualified Block mispositioned: -5 I'd observe that in (...) (22 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
