Well sure the game might be harder and a box on wheels is not as useful. Is that the GDC's problem? Most of what I see in this thread comes back to robot performance which is up to the team. Are you saying the GDC should make easier games? I mean if it were really as easy and simple as competitive forklifts than this would be a lot easier.
