**FIRST EMAIL**/Important – Team Update #1

I too will miss G36. Everyone was complaining about how easy this game is and than they cheer that G36 is gone.
MAKE UP YOUR MINDS!!!!!

No one seems to want a challenge anymore. Maybe we should drive around the track in an orderly fashion.

I also will miss <G36>. I suspect that it would have been impossible to judge, but the strategy implications had me going. Will your opponent give it to you early just to deprive you of the 12 points at the end? Can you take it early and score enough to survive the 10-point penalty? Can you get all the way round in hybrid mode and get the ball for 6 pts and no penalty? Do you know what your opponent is capable of, or intends to do?

I saw it as a differentiator among the really best teams....

But in real time, I wondered how the judges would handle it without lasers.

The Lane Divider is six feet tall. All the referees had to do was watch to see if the robot was taller than the Lane Divider. But none of that matters now.
