I agree. There was something different about the 2v2 dynamic. Good human players were critical, but usually didn't change the outcome of a match. Robot design was so unique... I will always remember the ones that caught the balls in a big net right when the all fell. Unless my memory is foggy, there were a lot less penalties too.
I also vote for Triple Play in 2005. FIRST has not had a game since then which forced teams to battle for ownership of goals. Blue and Red could switch ownership of a goal 5 times in a match. It was so hard to keep track of score, which is what made the match so exciting. Unfortunately, I think the amount of defense in this game and the 15 lb. tetras 10 feet in the air caused a lot of robots to fall over.
Enter bumpers in 2006. FIRST would never be the same.
