That's why we played 'robot-tipping' before we shipped. We knew it was going to be rough!

That said, while our robot *can* climb over the humps, we never had to at the FLR. We sat in our comfy little middle zone and did our job very well, and trusted the other robots to do theirs.

Cooperation is key to winning this game!
