any brick good or bad, in or out of a robot is counted in the [ shape.
this also means that if your robot has bricks in it, and the robot is IN THE PIT,
then those Do NOT count.

yes. the rule was that the back of your robot had to touch the wall. this was an
easy way of saying we don't want people to start up against the rice pit wall.

clean the ring between match's and if the rice level drops, then add a bit more
rice from the supply bag.
at the end of the day, just dump the rice into the trash.
