Hmm... instead of making it arbitrarily complex, why not make it
extremely simple- say, a square of pre-defined size where each robot starts
in on corner, parallel to an edge? This would allow a measurement of
location (and thus a determination of in or out) by measuring how far in
x and y one has traveled (though, since I don't have my set yet, I'm not
exactly sure how easy or had this may be.) That would (hopefully) save an
input, correct?

P.S. can we attach a light to the doughnut, or is that cheating?
