While this is true, that "intelligent decerning" tends to turn into "it's not fair that you play defense that hard".
I don't want to turn this into a "tanks vs miracle machine" debate. I just want to point out that you have to understand the strengths and weaknesses (yes they all have weaknesses) of your robot, and prepare to deal with those.
