That's interesting. I like it, but at the same time it would be really frustrating to lose a match simply because you didn't wait long enough (or waited too long until the match was over).

On another note, my honest opinion of the mini-bot is that it is worth too many points. If it was 18, 14, 10, 6 I think it would be perfect. The problem with the minibots is not when they are going up, it's that the point value is too influential on matches that should be decided by other things that aren't as subject to chance (not that a good minibot is chance, but when two sub-1 second minibots face each other, whoever gets up first is essentially a coin toss.)
