I caught the last of this challenge on TV in Georgia!  It looked fun.  I
think we would have to use something dry like rice or nuggets.

Everyone always talks about this line following or obstacle course thing.
Having the container on top makes it more difficult and introduces ideas
like motion dampening or control systems.

I like this idea still, but we would have to find a pipe where there aren't
joints on the outside like PVC stuff - there are big bulges at the couplings
and that would be really hard to get about...  :-/

I think that's the point-you have to figure out a way around the joints.
rtlToronto14: The Joint is the Point.  Perhaps you release the front, inch
over the joint, grip the front, then release the back while you pull forward
on the front.
