Re: Do you LIKE the game this year?

I have always liked the fact that FIRST puts out games with two aspects. By That i mean a regular gameplay (shooting hoops, in this case) and a possibly game-changing final task (balancing on the bridge).

The Hybrid period is also pretty cool, since it includes programming other than the "make the robot move, then the programmers go twidle their thumbs" kind of challenge, and includes something new (the kinect)

Overall, I think that this year's game is quite good, and includes numerous engineering challenges that will teach students the think outside the box.
