You all should read the new "Elims" layout. Quarters and Semis are point based, not best of 3. You can officially score me as currently not a fan. This game is the closest to the horrible 4v0 game we've had in forever, and I'm worried "Elims" are going to get boring fast because of it.

Where does it say this in the rules?

Re: The 2015 game is... Recycle Rush!
 

Let me clarify I have not seen that if that happens it is not allowed.

Re: 2015 FRC Game : Recycle Rush
 

Does anyone else think this game is going to be boring? Watching it is not going to be fun at all. I for one heartily dislike this game.

He said he has not seen such a rule.

Re: 2015 FRC Game : Recycle Rush
 

Seconded... I had the same exact thought. This isn't a competition it is an exhibition with points.

Re: 2015 FRC Game : Recycle Rush
 

I say give this game a chance. In the past some games took awhile before they became exciting.

Re: 2015 FRC Game : Recycle Rush
 

I agree. It will be a good challenge for building, designing, and programming, but as a spectator it will be pretty boring. Just the fact that winning doesn't matter till the finals will make it less interesting.

Even as a member of the drive team, this game would be less exciting without defense and robot interaction.

Re: 2015 FRC Game : Recycle Rush
 

The problem I have is that FIRST had been making a big deal of moving toward exciting, spectator-friendly "sport"-like games, and then they come out with possibly the least exciting (at least for a non-participant) game in the history of FIRST. I'm... disappointed to say the least.

Re: 2015 FRC Game : Recycle Rush
 

This is my biggest issue with the game based on my first impression. We always say that FIRST is more sport than science fair, but (based on my first impressions and knowledge of the old 4-0 game) this game doesn't support that point at all. In fact it kind of negates it in my eyes.

That's not to say that the design challenge isn't interesting or that the robots will be any less cool, but in my experience a basketball game is way more fun to watch than two people shooting free throws on opposite sides of the court.

Well said.

Folks, first impressions are not what a game is judged on in the long run. Give it time.
