WORLD: Pacebots - More Pacebot Route Options
Expand each "family" of Pacebot to offer more route variation. e.g. have a Roxy Ruby, Robert Ruby, Rachel Ruby. All would be 215w-265w but do a different route.
Ideally there would be at least 3; one doing a flat route, one doing a hilly route, and one in the middle.

The stronger pacers typically use more lumpy routes, which makes some sense - however while the pace on the climbs is good, it's then followed by a long period of super easy spinning down the descents. If you keep the power on, you drop the pacer and have to try and regroup.
It would be really good to have a pacer which hits those same numbers on the climbs, but maintains the power on the descents or has shorter/shallower descents between ramps, giving a more consistent workout.

This is a great idea. I use the pace bots for my zone 2 rides and a bit of variety in the routes would be a welcome addition.
