The only thing I see as a bad thing with the penalties for the year is the seemingly increased number of "unintentional" penalties. For instance, not realizing a robot is trying to right itself or another bot and glancing it on your way past will result in a penalty. Then again, I'm all for driving with an eye for the entire field and not just your own robot, so perhaps these penalties will have a positive effect.

My opinion on this is DEFINITELY influenced by the "Load Zone Penalty of Doom"!
