Ooh... the "Hassle bot".

A highly maneuverable machine equipped with rangefinders and programmed to maintain a constant distance from and opponent. You pull up to within a foot of a full court shooter, and when they try and bump into you and draw the foul, your robot automatically backs out of the way. There's still a day left... quick... get building!

Actually I'm thinking that the deflector fan ideas that were quickly written off in the first couple weeks might actually be really useful against a full-court shooter. The fans might not be able to move the frisbees much, but a small deflection would add up over a long distance, perhaps.

It will be interesting to see what shows up in the withholding allowances after week one!
