Re: The Not So-Secret Secret End-Game

I hope to god this is true, that would save an otherwise terrible game IMO. Especially considering how awesome Rebound Rumble and Ultimate Ascent were. When we've seen the game for the first time I've had the same thoughts as other people around here stated before:
  • The lack of an endgame is weird.
  • The game is incredibly underwhelming.
  • It seems really hard to explain the game to an outsider.
And the fact there's a giant truss in the middle of the arena, only used as some sort of a height border to mark scores, doesn't do any better for the 3rd bullet up here.

Personally I'd love it if FIRST and the GDC tried to emulate a real-life situation where you as an engineer are forced to replan your design because of a new restriction or requirement. Then again, if I were a student in this situation, the reaction would have probably been a little different
