I'm sure someone has already built the bot that collects veggies and positions them to be shields, but thats not my full intention. I am planning to design a bot which collects as many veggies as it can, and then reads their eye informaiton, checks for any other bots who are tied to it, uses its in/out interface to camo it to other conspecs, and controls the veggies defense and attack mechanisms. After enough energy is collected they create a child that is permanantly attached to the rear of the parent, and covers the back of the bot. It grows like a worm and uses the veggies to its advantage.
