Re: Percentage of EFFECTIVE Limbo Robots

I definitely think that the number of effective Limbo Robots will be greater after week 4 than before, in the early weeks. After teams try using their robots and strategies in a real match, they'll find the flaws, and be able to fix them as the season goes on, whether on their second robot, in the programming, or whatever other method.

I also think that the best limbo bots need to shoot goals of some sort, they can't just breach the defenses and be done. This is because, as mentioned earlier, the biggest benefit of being able to go under the low bar is the faster cycle time for getting boulders. But if you don't design a robot that can take advantage of this, you'll only be mediocre at best.
