I'm surprised Aren hasn't jumped in yet. He proudly tells that the "choo-choo" mechanism was one he discovered when he was in middle school.
The three day robot idea is interesting to me. On one hand I really appreciated seeing some of strategic/black box concepts/ideas/wotnot (such as calculating the "sweet-spot", neutrino made use of that idea and using it to determine ranges). I'm sure many teams benefited from the robot designs as well.
On the other hand it turned me off to watch adults play a "kid's" game. Its not really inspiring to watch an MLB player hit a home run on a little league field.
