Isn't this question already answered in the posted "rules"

(yes, it is)


Could the non-interlocking factor be viewed
as an advantage? I wouldn't mind building a hopper that can process interlocking
pieces, but I don't have any...


Sure, it could be an advantage

I was able to build a device that could easily handle the interlocking chips.

And, for the record, the chips I was using seem to be very "LEGO-friendly"
sizes.


With that in mind, I think it's time to start the trash talk.  I didn't get to
talk anti-x times, or anything like that.  But I have a suggestion for "anti-x"
times in Connect-4.

Right now, I'm pretty sure, assuming the opponent doesn't play in column 4, my
robot will be able to win a Connect 4 game in under 1 minute.  That's also
assuming the opponent plays as fast as possible.

So I'll say my C-4 time (time to put 4 chips in column 4) is 60 seconds **

anyone else?
