Re: Dukes of Stronghold GIF Contest: Poll Week Last
I don't recall the specific rule/guideline, but there was an emphasis at Lonestar about giving robots 5 or 10 seconds to try to right themselves without being touched by another robot. I'm not sure if they were disabled after that time was up to prevent damage to the field, or if the robots just stopped trying when they realized they were stuck. I'm a little surprised at how few robots ended up upside down this year, all things considered.

Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors, so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe .... In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. "
