Bragging rights, and ... that's about it.

Details

• For each robot, a pair of ropes will be suspended from the ceiling approximately 12 inches apart.
• If ropes cannot be hung from the ceiling, I'll be bringing something else along.
• The rope is what was used for Tug Of War, see here for more information.
• The ropes will end approximately 20 inches from the floor
• Attach your robot to these ropes so that no part of it ever touches the floor, either before starting or while it is running.
• Two robots will compete against each other at the same time
• You may start your robot by any means, as long as this does not
  1. significantly push or pull the robot into motion, or
  2. interfere with the other robots.
• The winning robot is the one that hits the target first (if we set up targets), or is the one that has swung the highest at the end of 3 minutes.
