Re: Withholding limits and GP

Dave, thanks for announcing that the update was out. And, thanks to the GDC for explaining what their reasoning was and clearing up the confusion that has been running wild over the last weekend.

I'm a little surprised that this hasn't come up in previous years. Then I remembered that the robots this year are exceptionally short by comparison, and thus many of them are lighter, leading to the questions about "can we simply withhold the robot?" The solution for next year is obvious: make a game where heavy robots have an advantage...
