FM made the bots harder to PIT/spin out than before around a year ago. I believe they have some sort of algorithm where the higher in the running order a bot is running, the harder it is to spin out.

In other words, it's quite easy still to pit the bot in 21st place, but the bots become nearly impossible to spin out once you get to about 6th place and higher. It takes a perfect and hard corner hit to spin out the 1st place bot.

During the Falcon/Commodore series we just completed, I was slowing the bots through sandbagging and the like, and got plenty of opportunities to put this theory to the test. There were several instances where I failed to PIT a driver in a high position, only to get PIT'ed myself by the bot behind me. Almost like they are fighting back??
