Let's have a couple of classes of competition.  Unlimited class is anything
goes.  Basic class will be the basic Mindstorm set + one motor.  Perhaps we
should define a class in between as well.

We will have to define the size of the room to prevent a quick win by
someone with a 2 x 2 room.

Good point - there were only 2 motors.  It would be better if it were
multiple cans
as well.  The scoring system on that Dallas contest web page
(http://www.dprg.org/CanCan.htm) looked pretty good to me.

It is an interesting problem to drive the bot and pick up the can with only 2
motors...  Tough...

I would presume that adding a third motor (like for a gripper to pick up a • Coke

motors? Although I guess you could capture the can with an indented ot • hollow
robot and push it out of the room.
