Organized? Yes we are. Powerhouse? NO.
Even thought we had a great year last year, I would never ask to be in the same situation again as Breakaway was THE worst build season we ever had. That was a tough game to be able to do everything and "try" to do it well.

Personally, I like the game being similar to 2007. There are still other elements to this game that calls for great strategies, a great human player, great driving (backwards again to score), and TWO robots.
