Hmm, your suggestion seems to have been met with a deafening silence.
Does eveyone think it's too hard? Too easy? Pointless?

I'm not sure this rule is neccessary but it does little harm. I expect that
most of the "Don't get stuck" algorithms won't need tremendous computing
power. But if someone solves the coms problems and comes up with a
wonderful algorithm that involves taking bearings off the ceiling lights
and building a 3D model of the room then well done.
And I think the "human interaction" parts are superfluous and may distract
from the "Don't get stuck behind the couch" aspect. If the robot discourses
at length about the merits of cubism but only drives around in little
circles in a big open space then it shouldn't score highly for not getting
stuck.
Otherwise I think all your suggested rules are good.
Peter
