yeah that was my original idea, three hurdlers all really fast could do the same job and on top of that if one of them breaks down its a realitively small loss becuase the desinated lap bot could just start hurdling.

however the only disadvantage i can find(its not too big either) to having another hurdler is that you would have another tall obstruction of your view while trying to hurdle; meanwhile if you had a small low lapbot you could easily just bob and weave through jams and no matter what happens you can easily rack up points and to the hurdlers there will only be 4 other bots in their way instead of 5
