My favorite thing about this year's game is that it is quite obviously difficult. Just go on youtube and look for videos of dogs trying to pick up frisbees. Shooting frisbees is also non-obvious, and just thinking about climbing the period makes my head hurt. This makes it easier for smart teams to say, "Well, that's probably not worth our time" and build a robot that ignores one portion of a game.
Games that are non-obviously difficult (Breakaway) are less exciting to watch. Teams try and do everything because they think it will be easy, and then the devil is in the details and none of the mechanisms really work.
