Re: Alternative endgame (from BB)

That would have made races much, much closer. Which would have sucked during week one, when the automated scoring sensors weren't working.

Not to mention the bots would be hitting the sensors with much less force. Differentiating such a tiny minibot impact from a robot running into the base of the tower would be nearly impossible. Unless GDC was stricter about the triggering requirements - e.g. minibots must contact both halves of the disk with a conductive medium. That would be easy to detect.

I like the idea, but I think this one is infeasible for technical reasons.
