[Robotgroup] Robot Challenge Help Needed

[Gray Mack]

Unless I get feedback soon about typical bots, I am
going to make some assumptions in designing the
challenge:

bot will fit within a 6in x 6in x 6in cube
bot can enter and traverse a 6in wide x 6in high
corridor without getting stuck.
bot can go over up to 1/4" bump or ledge without
catching wheel or sensors.
bot can travel up/down 15degree incline plane
bot can sense a black line boundary 1/2in to 3/4in of
edge of falling off the playfield.

Thanks,
Gray
