In some squares of a $2012\times 2012$ grid there are some beetles, such that no square contain more than one beetle. At one moment, all the beetles fly off the grid and then land on the grid again, also satisfying the condition that there is at most one beetle standing in each square. The vector from the centre of the square from which a beetle $B$ flies to the centre of the square on which it lands is called the [i]translation vector[/i] of beetle $B$. For all possible starting and ending configurations, find the maximum length of the sum of the [i]translation vectors[/i] of all beetles.

A $3\times3$ square is partitioned into $9$ unit squares. Each unit square is painted either white or black with each color being equally likely, chosen independently and at random. The square is the rotated $90^\circ$ clockwise about its center, and every white square in a position formerly occupied by a black square is painted black. The colors of all other squares are left unchanged.
