Sure. Go right ahead. But it has to start from a unit 2x2' square first.
And you have to get them into your corral to begin with.

Again, if you wish to bet your farm on a reliable fence that unfolds from
2x2' sure...

Go right ahead. One of our best marble sorter designs, Cinderblock (Jeff
Elliott) went up to the skirtwall and dropped marbles out of the ring.
But do not THROW blocks out, there is an audience which is often pressed
right up against the side of the playfield. You run the risk of having a
group decision against you that your robot is unsafe. This is why we've
never seen arcing batteries, giant lead weighted hammers etc.

Yes. If you had black blocks still inside the body of the robot, and those
blocks were on your side, then they would count. If there was a situation
where the robot was parked over the line, only those blocks on your side
would count. Ie, say your robot was at the line, and only the front sensor
was over onto your side. The blocks in the robot wouldn't count as they
weren't physically in the airspace of your side.

Correct. Black on your side - white on your side = your score.
> What is colour reading values of the playfield ground and wall?
No idea. It varies depending on lighting, shadows, dirt etc. Program in
variability into your sensor reading subroutines to be flexible.
