The web link is to a webpage with the applet embedded.\r\n\r\nThe guys at the lab had an amazing idea: a bot to collect rock samples, that is controlled remotely & powered by a potato battery. Not only does the potato provide a suitable mainframe, it can produce up to 1.65 volts!* Of course, however, they didn't test it enough before deploying them in the hundreds, and about 10 seconds later (actually, exactly 10 seconds later), they discovered that the low voltage, while still being apparently enough to power a fully-fledged, sarcastic AI, was not enough to power their video feed.\r\n\r\nTry to score as much as possible, my best so far is 2400 points, at level 8.","title":"Blind Feed"}
