This is different. In '04 the robots were a very important part of scoring. If the robot couldn't return balls to the HP, you simply couldn't score. This year, if you had a ridiculous HP, you could score every single point! Granted, launching an empty cell through the itty-bitty hole in the outpost wall and having it land in the air lock is a bit of stretch, but there are no rules against it.

That said, I'm pretty sure that this year not only will we see some really interesting robots, we'll see some really unique robots. And that's cool.
