Re: Raising the bar...or lowering it?

quite simply, the way it works out is this: yes, you can build a bulldozer. you'll even get a decent amount of points. what it comes down to is the "edge" - giving your team an advantage so that you come out with more points. If everyone has a dozer, then everyone will (assuming equal driving and human players) score about the same points. It's when you start adding other things to the dozer that make the difference. Essentially, the dozer works, yes, but it's only the basis for the overall robot - if all you have is a dozer, expect the minimum results - anyone with something beyond the dozer will probably beat you.
