Re: Robot Diversity

Even if robots have all the same abilities or most of the robots have similar tactics, there is also how that tactic is implemented during building and how effective it is. While the outside of robots can be very different, the inner workings makes every robot different, and slight differences that you can't see on the outside can change everything.

Also, I originally disliked games where robot diversity was at a low, but especially this year I don't seem to mind it at all. I think this year, having a bunch of robots that are very similar really focuses on how that team plays the game with the robot they have, which is a good thing...but I agree, sometimes you sometimes what to see a big shift in styles and play styles.
