This sounds exciting! At least most of it...I don't know if I read this article right, but I had an Idea a while back about making the old robot designs available...almost like skins or paint jobs, but instead, the robot design itself...I think this idea could prove valuable and would help the old timers of this game and those that like the older designs appreciate the game more. It also would make battles more interesting with the new and old designs meshed together. and it would be easy as adding new skins.

That wouldn't work. Say you're the last man standing on your team, you've still got 4 bots unused, and the opposing team is ready for you to drop them? Minute markers wouldn't work and you'd get thrown into the Low Priority Que because you died to fast.
