// The experimental RTGs have poor radiation containment, so they're dangerously radioactive. The
|

// chips are prototypes and don't have normal radiation shielding, but they do have the ability to
|
||||
// generate an electromagnetic radiation shield when powered. Unfortunately, they can only be
|
||||
// powered by their corresponding RTG. An RTG powering a microchip is still dangerous to other
|
||||
// microchips.
|
||||
//
|
||||
// In other words, if a chip is ever left in the same area as another RTG, and it's not connected
|
||||
// to its own RTG, the chip will be fried. Therefore, it is assumed that you will follow procedure
|
||||
// and keep chips connected to their corresponding RTG when they're in the same room, and away from
|
||||
// other RTGs otherwise.
|
||||
//
|
||||
// These microchips sound very interesting and useful to your current activities, and you'd like to
|
||||
// try to retrieve them. The fourth floor of the facility has an assembling machine which can make
|
||||
// a self-contained, shielded computer for you to take with you - that is, if you can bring it all
|
||||
// of the RTGs and microchips.
|
||||
//
|
||||
// Within the radiation-shielded part of the facility (in which it's safe to have these
|
||||
// pre-assembly RTGs), there is an elevator that can move between the four floors. Its capacity
|
||||
// rating means it can carry at most yourself and two RTGs or microchips in any combination.
|
||||
// (They're rigged to some heavy diagnostic equipment - the assembling machine will detach it for
|
||||
// you.) As a security measure, the elevator will only function if it contains at least one RTG or
|
||||
// microchip. The elevator always stops on each floor to recharge, and this takes long enough that
|
||||
// the items within it and the items on that floor can irradiate each other. (You can prevent this
|
||||
// if a Microchip and its Generator end up on the same floor in this way, as they can be connected
|
||||
// while the elevator is recharging.)

// You make some notes of the locations of each component of interest (your puzzle input). Before
|
||||
// you don a hazmat suit and start moving things around, you'd like to have an idea of what you
|

// need to do.

// In your situation, what is the minimum number of steps required to bring all of the objects to the fourth floor?
