Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 7)/@comment-27109924-20160805052032/@comment-28753807-20160805134345

In Light-Rider racers talked about how bots got slower, easier to beat, the more upgrades were put on. In this event, @Elpreciado feels adding upgrades quickened his competitors? Firemonkeys states, in so many words, that bots are programmed to our peformance. Maybe to our car's abilities as well, but those upgrades change our performance potential. If we are driving to the potential of the car's abilities, the bots are set to be challenging, but not impossible to beat. So, for me, if bots are giving me trouble, I can't change the way they drive, so I focus on what I did that didn't work, what I can do differently. The ability to quickly adjust how I(we) drive to a car's performance on a track, is what, basically, puts bots in their place. Second place.

IMO, the bot algorithm is to be praised. If RR3 were impossible to beat, or if it were too easy to beat, it wouldn't hold much interest for very long. But, since it adjusts and inspires us to improve -- at least for me, it is very interesting.
