Re: Robot Diversity

This year, most teams which considered a looping-bot type of strategy decided not to pursue it becaue of a concern that the GDC would change the rules to make it illegal. The GDC in fact re-inforced the strategy with updates. Too late for most teams to change their design, but I would expect that next year many more teams will be looking for these outside the box solutions and more will be willing to go that way. This may help diversity of bot design in the future.
