Mine was the 2007 game: Rack'N'Roll. It was my 1st year and because of that I was put into more of a scouter role that I end up looking back as the best thing that could have happened for me. Because I was a scouter that whole year, I was able to watch every match for 2 regionals and our division at Atlanta(champs). Eventually I was able to actually scout an entire alliance every match, mainly because we had people designated for certain times to scout who wouldnt, but it allowed me to gain the nack for being able to distinguish the good from the bad from the amazing. Now, why the game was amazing? The rarity this year to see an autonomous score made that score so much more amazing, plus since it was my first year seeing a robot move and sometimes score all on its own both baffled and astounded me. Also the way you scored and how you could counter your opponent really made the game interesting, a kind of 3-D checkers if you will. But the main thing I love about this game more than any other is how it ended; seeing all the different ways teams lifted each other up or the last second climb onto an alliance partner's ramp made the last 10-15 seconds of the match 100x more exciting than the other 2 minutes before it. Until the team I am on competes, which is this week, I still am saying that that year is by far my favorite.
