: In my ideal game, the game would be every robot for themselves. The only problem is that more than 2 in the ring was never fair to the best team (double teaming happened regularly). My ideal game would be one-on-one. .........

Chris,

Remember the one-on-one Eliminations in Torroid Terror? First bot to score a point then clinched his opponent and hugged him for 110 seconds. BORING. A struggle by one bot to score while the other gloms onto him to prevent is rarely going to break loose the match. How many basket lifts last year could do their job with an extra 130 lbs hung on the side? More than 2 bots, whether it's 2 on 2 or 3 way cut throat gives the option for one bot to break away from a stalled tactic and break things loose. Alliances aren't perfect (yet) and cutthroat inherently does involve shifting alliances (transitory double teaming), but they sure keep the matches moving. Just my view.

Dodd
