[CoLoCo] 2008 Robotics Season game clue

[Ringo Kamens]

Haha, I was in the middle school version this when I was a kid where we used
the programmable lego robots. Our programming tweaked out and didn't work
and some of the goals were to move/disconnect/connect targets and well.. we
had a certain number of turns. We found out that if we made the thing go as
fast as possible and run into things we could accomplish them. We actually
came in 2nd and they had this big speakerphone system where they would
interview the participants so they asked us what our strategy was and I went
"demolish everything!!! yeah!!". And then we got disqualified.
Good times,
Ringo Kamens
