The Squid Test Brain is a programmable controller designed for a specific purpose and a specific robot. The robot must find it's way to the goal on the other side of a table by following the lines and avoiding the moving 'Squid' robot.

IO Port configuration:
0 through 3 - outputs (must be connected directly to the locomotion)
4 and 5 - inputs from line sensors (4 - left, 5 - right)
6 and 7 - inputs from IR sensors (6 - left, 7 - right)
8 and 9 - inputs from edge sensors (8 - left, 9 - right)
10 - output to an LED
