Re: Favorite FRC Game?
My 2011-compiled elements of a good FRC spectator game:
1) Robots moving quickly around or across the field
2) Flying things
3) Scoring that the audience can understand
4) Highly visible and important endgame
5) Well-weighted scoring
Logomotion: 1, 2, 3, maybe 5
Breakaway: 3, 4, sometimes 2
Lunacy: 2, 3
Overdrive: 1, 2, 3, maybe 5
I fell like this largely holds true--most of the people I talk to enjoyed watching Logomotion and Overdrive and disliked Lunacy and Breakaway.
So far, Rebound Rumble is a tale of two games--in qualifications it has 2, 3, 4, and maybe (we'll see) 5. In eliminations teams start playing defense, and it meets all five criteria, which says to me that the GDC is learning more and more what makes their games popular.
