Re: 2012 Game?

personally i would like to see a game that somewhat resembles Breakaway, especially since FIRST is trying to show that robotics is a sport too. Breakaway, I thought, simplified the entire aspect of robotics. Breakaway made the game more of a sport rather than a task that was done by robots. It had easy to follow scoring, a simple, exciting endgame, and allowed for simple robots to be useful which created more successful teams. (ex. a kit bot in 2011 couldn't do anything in the game resulting in a 2v3 match while in 2010 a kit bot could be a great defensive robot to the alliance)

So I'm in favor of a sport-like game for next year
