Sure I'l remove it, but where should I place the points or should I make another grading option? And yes I'm new to the forums and also quite new to algodoo aswell. At this stage I'm just learning from others. And just trying.

As long as the simulation is not running it should be in the box. When the simulation is running it can unfold to all sizes.

Two more questions..
1: Can I have a single collision group turned off on the ground?
2: Can I set the blocks to collide with Group B also?

1. Yes you may turn off 1 collision group of the ground plane.
2. No your not allowed to change the collision group of the red blocks.

But then you will have nothing to grade.
I'm thinking about entering this contest using a bit of thyme and attraction.
EDIT: Never mind, it's not allowed.
