Actually, I believe that the original poster suggested that here be a bonus or award for achieving the goal while limiting their entry to only a single RIS. Based
on the ideas that have been flowing in, it sounds doable to achieve the result with a single RIS and get a bonus in the process. But that shouldn't stop you from
boosting the RIS with additional parts (say motors) if that decreases your time enough to perhaps compensate for a loss of the PURE-RIS bonus.
Cheers,
