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

The precedent has been set - 2012 bridges.
In my mind, this change will bring about two benefits - it will make the quals much more watchable, and it will reduce the amount of robot-incurred robot damage before elims begin. Not just from aggressive defensive play, but from the scrum that results from a red and blue ball, loose on the field, in the same area.

Also, JVN noted that this would be an awesome 2v2 game. I'd like to see that - even if it's during exhibition (mentor?) matches at an offseason event.
