... and then there is always the possibility that people involved with the design of the game for next year actually read through these posts, looking for ideas...

Just imagine if the following hypothetical conversation were actually true:
W: "hey, it looks like all the veteran teams are building "Team Whizz-Bang"-style drive systems this year. They are all spending all summer building prototypes and perfecting the designs. All those poor rookies are going to be left in the dust!!!
D1: "well, won't they be surprised when they see the new game and see that "Team Whizz-Bang"-style drives are absolutely useless when driving across a platter of cooked rice." All that time and effort spent working on the wrong problem! And after we TOLD THEM not to make any assumptions about the next game!
D2: "heh heh heh heh!"

I am just waiting for the game that is entirely dependent on climbing... monkey bars perhaps?
