Re: A plead to FIRST, anyone else agree?

I am also a 4 year member of an FRC team, and yes, this year's game is somewhat poorly organized. Within 5 years, the same concept of the two games (rack and roll, logomotion) were brought up. Only 5 years. It just seems too close. And quite unfair to those teams who started in 08 (like us) compared to those who were here before 07. Breakaway and Overdrive were, hands down, one of the best games. It was incredibly well organized, well thought of, the ratio of points to penalties. I thought FIRST would come up with something better this year since it is the 20th anniversary. I'm wondering if the movie directors (the ones from the GDC last year) helped with this years game. I heard one was from Cirque du Soleil.
