That’s easy - just make a table that can be lowered and raised.

Well, good thing we don’t pay a lot of people to solve Rubik’s Cubes.

If the robot wants to be #1 in the human world, it has to play on World Cube Association mats. The robot’s “hands” will also have to trigger the start timer.

I’m not saying it can’t be done, but there is still work to do.

If this was true, then my settlements in Fallout 4 wouldn’t keep losing to raider attacks.
