hey, you don't KNOW who's gonna win based on their plans... just like in Survivor, you don't neccessarily know that the marine is gonna win, or the quiet one, or the player, or whatever; Despite differences or distinct advantages in design (or personality), you don't know who's gonna win. It all depends on how the game is played, and maybe a little bit of luck.

maybe the cardboard robot that has an awesome driver will win. Maybe the Ford super-robot with the unexperienced driver will win. Maybe some all around mediocre team will win by a fluke.

Knowing something about your opponents does not mean that you will win. It just gives you an advantage to know what you may be up against (or teamed up with).

Now, if you want to cripple yourself (and your potential allies), then go ahead and take your oath of secrecy.
