well...

Well... I won't exactly say this is like battlebot... But this years game is actually spectator friendly, and should be really exciting to watch. At the same time, the playing field objects have gotten really simple, and the rules are pretty easy to understand.

As Dean said, he and woodie saw a lot of good things in sports, and they at least try to add some of them into the game. So, it might come out looking a little like battelbot or others, but that's because they are all trying to follow the model of sports.

Well anyway, this year, all you have to tell people when trying to explain the game is this:

We have a lot of soccer balls, and three moveable goals where you can put those balls in and score points. There are zones on the ground, and you get points by getting your robot or your opponents' to touch down at home zone, and/or get goals on top of you goal zones... I don't think it need anymore explaination that that.

Well, about the3 times opponents' score thing, well, we don't really need to explain that as long as the spectators know who's winning and who isn't.

So, without getting into the game itself, I thought FIRST did a wonderful job of designing this game for future promotion.
