I agree. For the purposes of this discussion, we should assume that all robots can do everything in the game, because to do otherwise gives robots rather unfair advantages. Anyways, each robot doing everything in the game but excelling in/focusing on one aspect is what I bet we'll see in Einstein (and other high-level play).
