The Contest Plot:

A fully 'automated' Laboratory is losing funds, to raise money for there experiments they begin selling old experiments. However, with no connections, nothing sells. Hoping at first to raise there publicity, they send word out of a contest. Eventually, as contestants arrive the 'automated' staff, (a butch of A.I. robots) begin to see a potential opportunity for more then just publicity...

Setting:

The Laboratory is called "Inorganics Labs", And is owned, maintenanced & operated by A.I. (Artificial intelligence) robots. They arn't all to polite. The Lab is made up of five areas (and one sub area):

Maintenance area: (large)

Many stationary robots here. They preform maintenance on the other robots. They aren't to good for conversation. There are grease stains and broken robots all over, but 'no robot is beyond repair', so none on the floor totality destroyed.

Manufacturing area: (large)

Mainly stationary robots, They mass produce 20 different kinds of robots, and have made hundreds more. The area is dark, and wires hang form the celling. Conveyor belts are every where.

The Labs: (medium)

This is were the set up blue prints & plan there experiments. Sterile environment.

Experiment Rooms: (large)

This area is strictly offlimits to competitors. (because most of what they do is illegal...)

Organic Enclosure: (small)

By law, an orgnization of their size must have an 'Organic Enclosure' for 'workers to relax in'. None of the robots use it, but the do keep it clean. However the rumors around the outside is they use the Organic Enclosure to give their test subjects exersize time. (Could that be why the Organic Enclosure is closed to contestants from 5 to 7 PM?)

Hallways: (sub area)
Any where in between the five areas is here. White hallways, made of slightly reflective material. No windows. Sterile environment.

There will be 32 to 64 entrys accepted for the first round, depending on the turn out.
