The layout of the contest table is shown in Figure 1. All measurements in the figure are not guaranteed to be accurate, and the only official measurements are those of the actual tables. The table is sectioned into Abozo, the no-man's land border region at the center, and Baloney. The robots begin at some random position in the starting area - inside the jail in the country represented by the robot. The table also has a number of black lines on the surface to help the robots navigate.
Lights are installes at each end of the field behing the starting areas.
The blocks At the start of every round, each country has 3 criminals and 3 honest citizens, represented by blocks. In each country, there are 6 places where the blocks are located. The two locations above and below the jail will always have criminals. The row of four blocks will have a random permutation of the honest citizens and the remaining criminal. There are 4 honest citizens in the no-man's land.
