One of my robots decided to try the "center of gravity above the rope" challenge
on it's own initiative Sunday.  The results were not pretty, but nothing was
permanently damaged, and the robot is back together now.  Sean and I are having
a lot of fun working on these robots.  We look forward to seeing how other
people devised crossing the rope!

The mini-challenge this time is to build a robot that can cross from one table
to another on a taunt rope. You won't be told ahead of time how far the tables
are apart, but a good guess would be 6 to 8 feet. If you would like to be
challenged even more, have it go back and forth, stopping on both tables, and
for an ultra challenge, see if you can do it with the center of gravity above
the rope the whole time. If you would like a lesser challenge, don't worry about
getting up onto the far table, just try to get to it.
