dhoinzer - I think you mean syntax, not semantics. Semantics deals with meanings. If the only difference between the two is a semantic difference, then there are different meanings; not similar meanings.

And... Fine - You and I interpreted it differently - Hopefully, VanMan can edit the poll to clear this up. If he can edit it he can easily either convey a single idea using a single word/phrase throughout, or he can describe different mechanisms by using different words/phrases. Whichever was (or is) his intent. At the moment neither you nor I knows what he actually intended to convey.

Perhaps he/we should take another crack at it by describing the way robots score (or enable the scoring of) points rather than by describing the implementations
1) Only Hang Rings
2) Hang Rings and get one robot off the floor
3) Hang Rings and get two robots off the floor
4) Only get one robot off the floor
5) Only get two robots off the floor
6) Neither hangs rings nor gets other robots off the floor (presumed to be a defensive bot able to get off the floor with an ally's help).
