The problem is that everyone needs to build one at home, and perspex/lucite
etc is expensive in large sheets (ie, if you had 12" robots, you'd need a 4'
by 4' cube to be interesting, and that would be expensive). I suppose you
could build one out of MDF at home, but the full one for the actual event
would be expensive.
I'd actually think a 3D maze like that would be kind of fun to watch,
actually. Sort of like rtl13, you'd have to lift yourself up on a platform,
but also lower yourself down. Like Qbert or something.
