Well, it took a few pages but I finally got to read a post that I understand. :)

This is a shift in thinking. I have no doubt that the GDC has tremendous respect for the teams and the innovative and incredible designs that are going to come into play in this year's game.

Defense does not necessarily have to be about bashing robots - it can be about how you play the game. I've read many posts referring to Nascar. There is a lot of strategy, a lot of work that goes into racing those cars. It isn't just getting in the car and putting the pedal to the medal. We have a race involving robots and very big balls that may or may not respond the way you hope they will or plan for them to.

How the alliances work together is thought provoking regarding what they will choose to design/build and what they won't - what the options/opportunities will be.

In my mind this is a multi-layered competition that can be simple or complex - again - with tons of strategy involved. Offense and defense is there, it is just different. It will be amazing to see how it is played out this season.

I also think that this is great eye candy for viewers and the media. Beautiful.

It will, but I personally like the balls from Aim High flying around better.

I think this is a whole new beginning for FRC. It may seem easy but you have to start low in order to be able to move up. Next thing you know, our robots will have to guide themselves through a maze in order to get to the arena to play the actual game or complete a task.

To those who say the game is "easy". If it's easy to you it's easy to your opponents too. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it) you are not competing against the game but against your opponent and if you don't get your head in the game your opponent will be running circles around you literally.

I believe everyone isn't being open minded enough to game. This game seems to level the field for rookies that try to speed around the field. BUT
How many teams will be able to go around the track 3 times before a team can hurdle the overpass? few
Add the congestion of all 5 other robots going at different speeds and not nessicarily giving adiquit room to pass? becomes more complicated quickly
But achieving a lap in hybrid mode might be the turning point coming into teleoperated with a huge lead and i forsee that as the only way to win by only running laps
Hurdling is going to be the turning point (you can qoute that)
