yeah i just read that.

But I still don't understand the "challenging" factors of this game. As others posted, this is a race. FIRST is supposed to be a challenge, not a display of simple skills.

One thing is that if everyone just runs around, the scores will be very equal. So trackball use is essential (at least to my perspective) in order to win.

So you must have some bots with good racing skills, and others that can get the balls down, and then get them back up again to get the extra points.

Now, if someone were to be able to build a bot that was very good at racing AND could manipulate the ball...
