Re: Buyers' remorse / Pig in a poke
There have been a lot of good comments here and I hope the GDC is watching and learning from this year. I know from experience in designing the BunnyBot game each year that game design is a tough, under appreciated, time consuming job.
One thing I would like to add for future games is to keep an eye on safety. What kind or robots are teams likely to build? This year's game is a scary one from the standpoint of the potential energy stored in many of these catapult mechanisms. Sure teams are required to have safety straps and locks but it's all too easy to forget to put them in place when making "one quick fix.". Someone could get seriously hurt this year.
