| The note discussing robot geometry have been moved to a
wishlist note (287) since they don't represent an open
MRU problem.

| On the subject of the GUI being misleading...
Mixed capacity towers in a multi-tower configuration will
force us to be misleading, one way or the other. Now that
we have a multi-tower configuration, I can use it as an
example. Two towers, one a TL826 (176 slots, 2 bin packs
per face) and a TL893 (264 slots, 3 bin packs per face).
The current GUI gives 8 faces with 5 bin packs per face.
Simple, but it may cause a problem when there are 40 bin-
packs per face in a 5 tower configuration.
Without geometry hints we can't figure out the real arrangement
of bin-packs per face; does a 440 slot tower (ours) have the 176
slot tower first or the 264 slot tower first? So we have to settle
on a the smaller or larger number and just have an uneven number
of bin-packs in the "face".
Or, we can factor the number of faces to produce an equal number
of bin-packs per face that doesn't reflect the reality either;
ours has 40 bin packs which is 8 faces of 5 or 10 faces of 4.
Consider a larger case; 3 towers of 264 slots and 2 of 176. This
is 1,144 slots in 104 bin-packs. The factors are 2, 2, 2 and
13. We could have 6 faces of 13 bin-packs, 13 faces of 6
bin-packs, 26 faces of 4 bin-packs, etc.
Since we can't figure out the correct order in mixed towers,
we'll usually have it wrong. So which is better, wrong with
no changes to what we have today (this is trick question...)
or wrong with significant extra work?
Since we won't be able to make an EWS terminal test against
the 5 tower configuration (if it even exists), we'll just
have to wait and see if 165 slots per causes any problems.
Till then I'm going to close this. But please continue
discussing it.
