Re: If YOU were the GDC...

1. Change the 20 second penalty for being in the courtyard to 10 seconds. I think it would lead to a lot more on the fly strategic decision making at the end of the match to see if it was worth it to stick around or risk getting back to the batter.

2. Lessen up on the tipping. If you build a tall robot you get the benefit of blocking but you risk getting tipped or falling over defenses. It's a tradeoff that teams should be aware of.

3. Autonomous seems like it's designed to encourage a lack of risk taking and multi ball autos. I would like to see no penalties for contact in between the auto lines. I think that would encourage a lot more innovative autonomous modes.

Overall I think the GDC did a fantastic job on this game and it's been one of my favorite to design for and play.
