I'm not exactly sure the size, but it was smaller than the others.  I think it was
the only one that was attached to only a 32x32 baseplate.

If your robot is small, does it hold all the cubes or pick one up at a time
while awaiting your next turn?  Does it read one cell at a time or multiple
cells?  How fast is it?

It carries five cubes, checks three cells, and was somewhat fast.  I'm not sure the
exact time per move, because it didn't make that many moves.  But I think I got most
of the software issues worked out last night.

One interesting note is that everyone was using different software to program their
robots.  Kerby used Robolab, Brian used NQC (I think), John used Mindscript, and I
used BrickOS.

I think I'm going to adopt one of Brian's suggestions and make it possible for my
robot to lose a game, in a rare random situation.  That should give kids a glimmer
of hope, when playing against it...  :)
