Re: GDC you have failed us.

I find the challenges this year intriguing.

How do you coordinate with your teammates task-wise? Defense, offense, supercells? That will require many different auton options and start locations.

How do maximize your driving potential? Practice. ABS. Traction Control. Weight distribution.

How do you minimize people scoring on you? Strategy while driving.

Do you focus on stuffing someone in a corner so your human can score? Even just a drivetrain robot will be able to interfere and slow others down.

No... I see a game with infinite intricacies. I'm hoping that the more competitive regionals result in a bunch of robots driving around with camera focussed turrets firing balls like machine guns.

It's like halo on ice....
