Re: How can you help GDC make this game better?

1.
I was looking at the different definitions of possession and this seemed to be ignored both for the alliance and when the opponent did it.

“trapping” (overt isolation or holding one or more BALLS against a FIELD element or ROBOT in an attempt to shield them).

Perhaps add a time much like the pinning rules like the ball needs to be held for approximately X seconds. Perhaps I am interpreting this incorrectly but I saw tons of robots pressing the balls against robots and field elements and no possession called.

2. G25
ROBOTS on the same ALLIANCE may not blockade the FIELD in an attempt to stop the flow of the MATCH. This rule has no effect on individual ROBOT-ROBOT interaction.

The defense in many cases was intense and if two robots were defending one it seemed to me to be bordering on blockading. I suggest that they expand on this to limit defense to 1 on 1 defense.

2 robots ganging up on one just is not fun.

3. add a coopertition bonus:
If an alliance achieves 60 or more assist points in a match they receive a bonus. The assist value seems too low in point values considering that is what the game is named after!
