Re: Week 1: Thoughts, comments
I'm pretty sure that this year, everybody involved in the regionals for Team 190 is happy with the game. We enjoy greatly the incredible diversity that the game affords. One can go from a really complicated robot for the center goals, to a hoarder for the corner goals. There is a significant amount of strategy required this year, much more than in previous games.
The only things I am disappointed in are:
The problems that some teams have had with scoring glitches in the FIRST computers. I agree that this should be prevented more thoroughly.
It is also disappointing that there aren't more teams striving for a decisive, thorough strategy for each match. There is more opportunity for a thinking game, and I am not very happy with the wanton throwing of balls by human players.
Overall, I am impressed with the intricate simplicity of this game.
This week, We went to the BAE regional, and were happy to find many teams scouting thoroughly, and I did not see any instances where I thought a penalty for hitting was in order, so good job teams at BAE!
