Wait a minute...

You guys are willing to accept a human "nudge" of a cube as part of the spec,
and you call adding tiles making the challenge easier??

I guess I don't see a human nudge as an acceptable part fo robot operation.
Especially when you want to leave it for kids to run.

As for John's response about dropping the cube slower, the answer is no, I can't
control the drop rate.  But, I don't see bouncing as the problem.  You may be
right about speed  of the robot.  Maybe I can achieve a little more accurate aim
by slowing down the robot.

Whatever...My robot works 90% of the time without nudges...which translates to
about 1 nudge every 2 games.
