Re: Success of practice bots
I think the concept that comes with practice bots is more important than the bot itself; the concept of which I speak is of course, practice.
The driver gains experience through playing in matches, and as closely as you can simulate that situation, the better. Ideally, 6 teams would get together during week 6 and play the game for hours, giving the drivers practice. That's completely different from having a practice bot and doing obstacle courses with it.
So in summary, I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's all about how you use that practice bot. Or rather, how your driver uses that practice bot.
