rtl13 with this "Control the Box" game will be a little easier to get a
working robot for.

I'm in for this one and there even is enough time to get a robot ready.

Is the box in the inside going to be a different colour than the outside wall?


<snip>

I think Calum posted the idea earlier, but here's the gist:

the arena is 8x8 feet with 6 inch walls.

in the center is a 2x2 foot by 6 inch platform.

From each corner of the arena is black electrical tape going to the
platform, for a robot to follow.

The walls of the platform are *exactly* the same colour as the outer
walls--why?  if your 'bot tries to climb the outer wall, that'd be fun :)
thus more danger and/or competition.

Then, if your 'bot successfully gets on top of the platform, it has to stay
up there, pushing off all other contenders.

After 3 minutes, whoever is on top of the platform wins.  If there are 2 or
more 'bots on the top--either a tie score, or whichever bot got up top first
wins--prob'ly to be decided.

Anyway, that's my remembery...
