I really like the fact that the 2v2 was reintroduced. I was kind of disappointed that there weren't as many things to "do" as last year. Like last year... you could grab goals, balance on the bridge, cross the bridge, go over/under the bar, grab the big ball, pull the stretcher... though having this many things to do did complicate things (our team learned last year that it is better to be able to do a few things really well, than to be able to do a couple of things "ok"!) Then in 2000 you could go under the bar, hang on the bar, collect/distribute balls into the trough. Yea. I guess my point is that I was somewhat disappointed with the lack of things there are to make your robot 'do'. I also thought it strange that the field is flat! No ramps!? No pucks!? No bridges!? Weird. Don't get me wrong though - I think this year will be great and a lot of fun! I can't wait til the competition!
