Re: Intentionally blocking traffic in Hybrid
This makes me a sad person. I understand not damaging a robot, intentionally doing so is always out of the question, but one of the most fun things to see is two robots duking it out to try to accomplish the same task. Doing something isn't impressive, doing something with someone else trying to stop you is. What would have been more impressive last year? Robots just filling a rack up with tubes, or a robot pushing another robot out of the way, and then turning around and scoring where the first robot was planning to? What was more exciting in 2006? Seeing a robot drive out there and just pour balls into the target, or drive out there and pour balls into the target while being pushed by another robot?
If the GDC wants to encourage others to watch, removal of defense is not the way to go. Who cares about the score? The score is just numbers on a board, the exciting part is watching the robots interact and seeing robots( and more importantly, people) do the impossible.
