Re: Strategy Coming Into Play
Another part of 'strategy' is being smart. Last year I saw a number of very good robots lose because they didn't pay attention to all of the rules, and were killed on penalties. While I think this year may easily result in very high scoring matches, a 5 or 10 point penalty could be enough to give away a match.

So... MAKE SURE TO KNOW THE RULES AHEAD OF TIME!
Don't get caught on a penalty during the matches, make sure to know what is legal and what isn't, for example, pinning and ramming. If you do that, you just removed one roadblock on the way to beating those better robots.
