I ahve a 4 foot x4 foot arena. We could potentially run two different types of
matches at the next rtl event.
Marble sorting in a small playfield, so that we would have to scale our 'bots
accordingly--say your 'bot can't be bigger than 8 inches x 8 inches (maybe even
smaller) which would make the 'bot more difficult to build.
I've never been in a marble sorting competition, and wouldn't mind.
And we could also have the Connect 4.
I know we ran into issues when we had sumo and block stacking, but I'm willing
to help where I can to have two types of events at hte next competition.
