Re: Buyers' remorse / Pig in a poke
Frank, I think you are probably right. And I don't think it is unfair to ask for a game design which minimizes those kinds of issues. I think there have been other games where the issues about correct scoring were just as serious (such as the minibot towers in 2011, so the automatic scoring last year meaning you couldn't really tell how many points you and your opponent had) but in those games one really good robot could dominate the game, so there were more teams who could overcome the problems so the "better" robot won.
