This year's grid is flat, and more tightly spaced. I think approaching a peg from the side is going to be significantly more difficult than it was in 2007.

Your post really made me say 'hmm'. It's a very valid concern.
Yet after a bit of thinking, I think robots will not NEED to approach from the side this year due to the very large differences in the plates on the front of the pegs. The room for error this year is quite a bit bigger for the Circle, and still rather large for the Square.
