Future Minibot Functions

This thread is meant to be a brainstorming session for possible things a "minibot" could do in future games. Assume a similar set of rules with regards to construction as this year and brainstorm some tasks.

For instance, this years task was:
Deploy to a pole, climb the pole, trip a sensor, and then be "easily" removeable. Points awarded by a "race" to trip the sensor.

The ideas don't have to necessarily involve a race element.

Ideally the ideas could be implemented with a similar "logic" requirement as this year (you were allowed to use the brick, but a couple of switches worked just fine too). I believe rules stated a couple of limit switches, a household Light-switch, and the Tetrix switch.

Remeber, servos were allowed though I personally didn't see a minibot that used them (at least one at a competition).
