Human player can directly score.

A bar to hang from as a finale.

No other game has offered as many design choices/tradeoffs and as varied play since. This was the last game where you had to truely make trade offs because with what we had at the time for motors/actuators and parts usage rules it was difficult to do it all.
2004 was my Rookie year and 2004 was one of our better bots 1368 ever made. Yes we could not hang at all but are autonomous was spot on 99.99% of the time with trigring the ball drop. and I do remember that we stole the big yellow ball RIGHT out of swamps arm! Too bad I cant find any video.

I will wait till saterday once Orlando is over to state my thoughts on Rebound Rumble
