I kind of like the "dig crap out of the box in the middle" game. Getting a
robot to navigate back to home base is something I've never done. I've also
never made a construction vehicle :) Iain can build the truncated pyramid
for us.

Yes, but no. I think we've done enough battery box events. If we can somehow
make this 'robotic' I think it would be much more appealing. One of my ideas
was to simulate real pipeline robots that scan for flaws in the pipe by
having the robots check for stickers or something on the pipe. I'm not sure
exactly how this would be incorporated into the competition. Maybe there
would be a random # of stickers placed on the pipe, and the robot has to
count them and also remember their location. After running, you could upload
the datalog from the robot and see how many flaws were detected, and how
accurate the distances are. Maybe this wouldn't be terribly exciting to
watch, but at least somewhat realistic.

Maybe string racers that have to lower a bucket to pick up ping pong balls
at one end and deposit them on the other end?

But I don't have any minifigs :)
