That is such a clever idea. Wow... I love it!
I can't quite remember how to play Jenga. Do the players take turns removing
pieces? They have to put them on the top, right?
I remember someone a little while ago built a robot that could solve the
Tower of Hanoi problem. This reminds me a bit of that, in the type of
problem solving that would be employed. I'd love to build the hardware, but
I'm afraid I'd have to have someone else do the software. :)
