Re: Who would like to see longer matches?

I absolutely do not want longer matches. Reasons:

You'd get fewer of them.
If something on your robot breaks or doesn't work, it hurts you more.
The better teams gain an even bigger lead.
Too many robots don't work well enough to make it interesting for a longer amount of time.
You'd potentially need a bigger battery, or design mechanisms to be lower-powered.
