: But we all know.. Dean's about teaching... in the real world.. you don't want to pound on your "opponents" but rather use their best to make your best better.... that way the whole world can advance together...

I totally agree. Although I will miss the concept of competing *against* someone in a match, I think this competition is a lot closer to a real situation. The robots built for assembly lines and space exploration and other stuff don't try to compete against each other or push each other over or go faster than each other. Although the average viewer might not be as interested, I don't think the purpose is to please the viewers so much as it is to help the participants gain experience...and this experience will be more useful in the real world.
