My robot also basically rests on a 32x32 plate...I have an extension off the
back more for some stability than anything else.

Good news - I also have a low riding front end and can help Steve outflank the
Vikings at the next get together...a little ganging up of the robots perhaps :)

Good idea - it would be easy enough to have an alternate strategy that lays
random cubes when there is not a block needed or a winning move available.

I have looked at the pictures and you can change the number of unique robots to
5 as mine doesn't look anything like anyone else's...and my drop mechanism is
nothing like what I saw. My robot resembles Steve's the most...but only in that
I move the robot chasis over the board and read all three columns at once. My
RCX is mounted on the moving chassis (unlike Steve's that sits on the table).
