So Dave, care to weigh in (officially or unofficially of course - whatever you prefer) on the robot drive design you personally think will be more advantageous this year?

A slow (turtle) or a speedy (rabbit) one?



Also as a side note, (while looking at that heading) would looking at a Cafe named after a very large sphere (Globe) be part of the intended hint, or just a fluke there seeing as we have a very large sphere as a game object??

I personally think we can pull a lot of "valid" (if not intended) solutions to the clue from that one area which to me is amazing. (Finish line, Tortoise & The Hare, Globe Cafe.. etc...) Very cool clue this year for number 2! Kudos to who thought of that one.
