Wow! Interesting!

Let the nerds think about the bamboozlements of the 2017 challenge

Give the written bamboozlements to the nerds and let them come up with some solutions

Discuss their solutions

Shoot down all their solutions (but not really)

Talk about the method we went with and why

Successes?

Failures?

Future improvements?

What about getting the robot to drive to the target?

What if we need the robot to be in a certain position and orientation relative to the target?
