I hate to be even the slightest bit negative (as I welcome this update) but I am a bit concerned with how fast this update came about. Maybe it was a mistake in the first place, but it seems that these kinds of rule changes will have very dramatic effects on the game play and strategies of teams. Maybe they were trying to make sure this fundamental change would not happen after teams had started to build designs dependent on the existing rules.

Hopefully this update alone will clear up the rules enough to allow the robot design to be decided upon without too much worry about a future update changing what we would want to build. Another week or so and many people will have invested a lot of time into specific strategies.
