And then I completed the scenario by adding an autonomous vehicle --
thereby creating a rover that would be directed to pass through the
maximum number of grid squares. Operation would be continuous -- with
no need for stopping.
At the conclusion of the contest, the computer would upload the log
while the vehicle returned home.
That-a-way I wouldn't miss any baseball or foot ballgames.
