Randy asked: "So why don't you start with the beacon on the
robot, set it off, go collect cans, and return and pick up the
beacon as last act?"
Probably because it violates the rules. I haven't looked at the
"Can" rules that replaced "Can-Can", but the old rules limited
the size of the robot. Dropping something in the arena (other
than a tether that goes outside the arena) would increase the
size of the robot, measured from the beacon to the moving
platform. So, nobody did that. There was discussion about having
the beacon outside the arena, which is what GPS is, but something
much more accurate than GPS.
