I heard they also had to rework the drop-down mecanums, too.
Nonsense. They just had to add another couple of percent to the duration they ran the four big fans.

I don't know about Karthik, but the main thing that would be terrifying to me is if a significant percentage of robots are planning to only cross the outer works at the low bar. This would lead to easy defense, significant traffic jams, and the category C defenses (drawbridge and sally port) being in position 5 most matches.
