I have to agree. Rebound Rumble is by far the best FRC game I have ever had experience with. I have said it before, but the penalties seem to be set up in a way that allows a lot more options in drive train selection and robot form factor choices than previous years. In other words a pushing or blocking robot has less advantage. In addition there are significant trade offs that need to be made in design. For example, the advantage of some height on the shooter needs to be traded off against stability on the bridge or bump. And, cooperation and coopratition seems to be particularly strongly encouraged by the point system this year. Add to all of that the fact that it leverages a widely popular traditional sport that is easy for spectators to understand and it is a real winner. All in all a well thought out game that is challenging and fun to watch.

Of course this is also my first and only FRC challenge so I might be just a bit biased.
