It's more than alright - Please do

FYI - Robot capabilities that you/anyone might describe are what might make their way into the simulation (if they aren't too complex for our current physics, etc. or for operating using a single XBox controller - We do have limitations ); but specific strategies that take advantage of combinations those capabilities won't be part of the game - Strategy comes from those 5.4 million hours of brainpower Dave Lavery talked about. 5th Gear users have to develop/explore their own strategies.

Also, like last year, 5th Gear won't be released until the 2nd half of the build season.

Finally, remember the long-view Dave, Woody and Dean emphasized. We win individually when we all succeed 5-10 years from now. Donating a good idea to the community just might be more rewarding than playing your cards close to your vest. I know I could be convinced to give out a few rep points to posters who do that.

So - Yes please post or PM your ideas and be part of this year's successes.

Blake
