Re: Favorite FRC Game?
I've been an FRC participant since 2009... The games change a lot based on level of play.
At the very top levels of competition, Breakaway was an absolutely brilliant game. Logomotion played well, but the way the pre-IRI scoring was set up, you basically didn't need to watch the first minute and a half of a good match. Lunacy was always more fun to play than to watch... and at the top level, robots finally began to outscore human players... but it certainly hasn't aged well for me.
When you get down to the weaker and earlier regionals, any game will look worse, but the best games are still somewhat worth watching. Logomotion probably did best in this category with the big, bright game pieces people would slowly score. Breakaway was fun to play but looked pretty bad. Lunacy was a mess.
I think this game has the potential to be better than Breakaway. I'm excited.
