Re: Team Update #10

Well there goes three pages of my play book. I guess I can understand this from a GDC point of view, especially blocking us from doing what I called "Hotel California" - you could check-in, but you could never leave. The lane to the Human player could be effectively cut off by two Robots. If you got a really good scoring robot to go into one of those lanes to pick up a tube, with two bots, you could keep them there for the rest of the match. Also, "Home, (not so) Sweet Home" was tossed out. Get the score high enough over their score, and set up a "picket fence" of three bots to shut down their scoring zone, and then bolt for the towers at the end game.

At least "The Italian Job" play is still valid - well, at least until Update #11!
