Thanks! We were worried because he actually injured his knee shortly before the competition, but his practice throughout the season paid off anyways.

Nicollet FEAR was amazing at this. Seeing the first few matches played, noodles did play a huge part of the game until robots were able to create a strategy that worked for them and their alliance. After that, teleop/coopertition did end up counting more than noodles. I didn't see Auto do too much to scoring compared to last year.

I also really don't like that one of the core mechanics of this game is promoting throwing trash into your competitions work space, that is just rude.

The purpose of the game was to encourage recycling and care of the environment.

The unintended consequences are that it encourages a team to litter to score points, and to muck up the other field to keep the other side from scoring points. Not a message you want to teach the kids - beneficial to litter.
