Any Super Robots Yet?

I believe this year's game will bring back the excitement of the 2000 game. Last year, too many times we could tell what the result of the match was going to be based on the types of robots and how well they complimented each other. This year, we'll have to develop strategies based on our potential allies, what we believe our opponents will try to do, and how to maximize our qualifying points.

I don't believe that the robot design will be as big a factor as it was last year. I believe this year great strategy and execution with good robots will triumph over great robots with good strategy and execution. I've seen a number of different types of robot designs / features mentioned on the forums, none of which were too much of a surprise. I think the real fun will be watching what each of these robots decides to do based on who they're matched up against. First you have to determine what your opponents' strengths and weaknesses are, then you have to figure out how to play to them.

I can't wait.
