: I suppose one could at least introduce SOME notion of
: aesthetics, e.g. evaluate layout against precanned style
: rules, or evaluate complexity using established metrics.

Given the presumed use of Ada to support highly reliable systems, I'd
especially like to see a robot of this type attempt to "break" the solution
by feeding it invalid inputs, etc. It might not be possible for something
this simple, but once you get up to more complete solutions, I think bonus
points should be awarded to solutions that implement error recovery, etc.
