Monkey-bots!

Home zone carpeted areas at either end of monkey bar grid will be the only floor surface that robots can legally contact. Floor below the monkey bars will be covered with blue carpet and designated "the water" <insert water game comment here>. Monkey-bots that contact the water will be penalized. Scoring will require a successful, aerial traverse of the bars to retrieve bananas.

Bananas will, of course, be pool noodles.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
