How can I also program them to say that if s1 touches any 
of the other 9 squares I want it to go back to it's set pos?

Ian,

It's a little difficult to get a clear idea of the context of your question.
I'm guessing that "boxes" and "squares" are the same thing. I'm guessing that
by "a new turtle" you mean a new turtleshape for the "s" turtle (which is not
really the same as a new turtle). I'm guessing that all the "square" and
"number" turtles are moving about randomly at the same time. I'm guessing that
by "it's set pos" you mean that turtle's original position. I'm guessing that
by "I want it..." you mean that you want only one of the two squares that have
touched to return to its original position.

That's an awful lot of guessing. What say you try to clarify these things? It
will make the chances of getting a useful answer a lot better.
