Team update 6 pretty much brings my opinion on this game down to the level of Overdrive, a game I did not like at all for one simple reason. Penalties are going to decide every game now. Everyone is going to be so gun shy, that defense might as well be completely disregarded.

On the one hand it makes it great for robots capable of hanging tubes, you'll be able to score with impunity. So the veteran and competent teams are going to be having a blast.

On the other hand, the poor rookies and those whose grand designs fail, that end up only with defense bots are going to be hosed. You'll spend the whole game worried about crossing this line, or if your alliance is pinning that guy too long.

I guess we'll see how the game plays but I am starting to be a little leery. With every mini-bot being the same after the other updates, and after the second week of Regionals all the minibots being pretty much identical due to following the best design, and now defense being curtailed even further than it was, I just don't know if I will enjoy this game too much.
