That is... beautiful. I really do love 148's videos. No matter how proud I may be of the robot that we've just stuffed into a crate, 148's videos always make me want to do just a little bit more next year.

And they're also pretty cool to show to friends, "See THAT... we play the same game, in the same league as THEM."

(It helps my friends understand why we lose matches, sometimes....)

BUT... before anyone starts handing out Championship Banners just yet, my observation over the years is that three robots executing "conventional" strategy perfectly, tend to have the edge over unique or unconventional machines. If there were a machine to upset that observation, this might well be it, but there are many other machines that I'm looking forward to seeing yet!
