Re: Bad Robots
I was at Wisconsin this year, and 2 weeks later at Midwest. A lot of the same volunteers were there, and I asked one: "Was competition at Wisconsin much tougher?". The other person said: "At Wisconsin, for over 1/2 the teams it was not their first regional [for that year]." At Midwest, there were a lot of green teams.
One team at WI was so-so, but at Midwest, they dominated. Part of it was that their game play (the driver) had a game dominating strategy (and a bot that could execute).
Experience playing the game, and being able to make improvements (hold back) between regionals (once you see how the game is played) is huge.
