I agree Glenn, it definitely could.

I think many teams can relate here. You get the same dice roll stop build day changes or otherwise. I can recall a few matches won last year by a human player score, or where the scoring consisted of human player shots entirely. So it certainly could impact "lower level" competition.

Individually, many of us are bummed because it feels like our robot has lost some competitive value. Whether an alliance we are on is less valuable as a result... Guess we have to wait and see.
