Once you return to the start point, you've already finished the task as Joel
Shafer specified it. Anything that happens after that point would be
irrelevant. I'll quote his specification again just in case people have
forgotten:
"Be the first to create a robot that can enter a room
with no obstacles (other than walls), find a randomly placed
coke can, pick up the can and bring it back to the starting
point. The robot must act autonomously and have no prior
knowledge about the room or the position of the coke can."
Joel also added in another message that
"Any method to get the can to the finish area is acceptable."
Here are the message links:
