Re: 05 World Wide High Scores

The majority of matches are boring, yes, but some are very exciting.

One bot at Peachtree (M'Aiken Magic) seems to have a tough time using their arm, but they are amazing at defensive strategies. In one match, M'Aiken Magic's bot immobilized the entire opposing alliance, leaving the other two bots to cap at their own leisure.

In another match, two bots (don't know what teams) with arms were battling each other in order to cap a side tetra. They wrestled for a good minute and got entangled. One fell and pulled the other down.

In my opinion, the most exciting parts of this game comes when robots are playing "defensively." Also, I think the penalties are worth far too much and many times are over something very small. Our highest score was something in the high 50's, so a 10 point pentalty is a pretty big chunk of that score.
