Well, I actually think this game will take the entire two minutes to decide. I mean, 1:45 is a long time when you come to think of it. And, this year there is no one defining factor of the game. Last year a team (71 comes to mind for me) could grab all three goals and get to their zone, and if that happened, the game was over right when it started. However, unless a robot can span 24 feet to block off an entire scoring zone, there is no way to completely control the game. Sure, controlling the ramp may help, but if a team can stack well enough, it only takes 10 boxes to grab 25 points. I think this game is going to rely more on the strategist and programmer this year, instead of the machine and the driver being the main focus. In many ways this is the hardest game ever, because in previous years a team could focus on the 'bot and the driver, (read: two components) but this year FIRST added the programmer and the strategist (read: 2+2=4) essentially doubling the amount of work needed.
