(...) That's the other benefit of having secondary paths-not reducing the game to sumo. A single decision up front to go onto an alternate path allows a competitor to avoid a sumo like game. Calum (21 years ago, 25-Aug-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

So Calum you are suggesting that the shortest path would be the marked path, but if a robot goofs up, and turns the wrong way, it can continue, and take a longer, route that will still lead it to the critical path.
